Why Torture Is Wrong and the People Who Love Them
by Christopher Durang
Feb. 12th – Feb. 27th
Christopher Durang turns political humor upside down with this hilarious and provocative satire about America's “War on Terror." Why Torture is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them tells the story of a young woman suddenly in crisis: Is her new husband, whom she married when drunk, a terrorist? Or just crazy? Or both? Is her father's hobby of butterfly collecting really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government? Don’t feel guilty about laughing hard at this new black comedy for an era of yellow, orange and red alerts.
