    Inspired by the death of an anarchist held in Police custody, this play opens with a character called ‘Maniac’ being brought into a Police Station. What follows is an expertly woven piece that’s as much an outrageous comedy as it is a thought provoking piece about the big question–what is the true story. this play explores police brutality as well as relationships among the police, the media and the political establishment.
