They've Stolen Mussolini is a black comedy based upon the true story of the grave robbing of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in 1946 by Neo-Fascists. The play follows the members of the "Fascist Democratic Party" as they embark on an insane plan to hold the corpse of Il Duce to ransom, in a desperate attempt to rekindle the spark of Fascism. As the comedy of errors unfolds the group descends further and further down the rabbit hole, and begins to devour itself from within.
The play deals with many issues such as fanaticism, cults of personality and societies failings in closing our fascist pasts.
