I decided to read this after seeing the greek performance with Panos Vlahos. Although I prefer the live version I saw, this is undoubtely a timeless work. I couldn't believe how relevant it still is today. Police brutality is such an important topic and Dario Fo with the use of humor comments on it perfectly.
And as he poses in the end: "Whichever way it goes, you see, you've got to decide." You can't be neutral about topic such as these.

Quote: "Corruption is inevitable under a system of society which only survives through the exploitation of one class by another"
