"[A] hilarious and disturbing new comedy about all-American violence" and other whip-smart political satires by the Tony Award-winning playwright (Ben Branley,

Christopher Durang, who

Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Themis the story of a young woman 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? Does her mother frequent the theater for mental escape, or is she just insane? Add in a minister who directs porno, and a ladylike operative whose underwear just won't stay up, and this black comedy will make us laugh all the way to the waterboarding room.
