its great - works better with a transgender maniac - very good - go to edinburgh, this play is back in fashion and loads of people will never have seen it since they dropped drama from the bbc and itv
brilliant! is the maniac played by a girl? please answer. i'm currently doing this play at school, i'm a girl and i'm the maniac. really liked your interpretation thank you
I love the many version of this play :) I'm currently exploring the character of the Maniac quite deeply at college so I may upload some segments of the show to youtube meself :D
...I put together a monologue for the Maniac part for my HSC exam in a few months and I've gone for a totally different approach. I just think Dario Fo should be done completely over the top, especially this character, to convey the insanity. Did you look into the Histrionic Mania disorder very much? There's a lot of stuff in there that really helped me build the character.
thats good . i did that play in school for my gcse drama . i love that play , the name was a bit of mouth full . if i get a copy il post it well done btw : )
I played Bertozzo in an ex pat production we did in Korea...I like the way this guy is playing it. I did it with more of a stiff upper lip. He is more natural than I did it. Like the twist on the anarchist aswell if maybe a little obvious...
forget this...read the original play by Dario Fo (translation by Ed Emry)

I played the Maniac in my A-Level pieceo just today, and it was the most fun I'd ever had on stage, let me tell you.
Played him COMPLETELY differently from this Maniac.

did you adapt the script yourself? or is this some odd version I've never seen before? (I like it btw)

it is a more obscure translation by Gillian Hanna. But we changed the last scene almost nightly, trying to stay current with that mornings news.

Sorry, but I really didn't enjoy this...
