Accidental Death of an Anarchist

In Act 1, Scene 2 of Dario Fo's "Accidental Death of an Anarchist," the Maniac claims to be "Captain Mark Burtonani," a judge. He impersonates a high-ranking police official to manipulate and confuse the other characters, particularly the police officers, who are involved in the case of the anarchist's death. This impersonation is part of the Maniac's elaborate ruse to infiltrate the police station and gather information about the incident while feigning madness and absurdity.
