About the Play

Why Torture is Wrong and The People Who Love Them by Christopher Durang

From the screwball imagination of American playwright Christopher Durang (The Marriage of Bette & Boo, Beyond Therapy), an uproarious new comedy about America’s ongoing “war on terror.” A young woman, Felicity, wakes up to a strange man, a hangover, and a whole lot of questions: Is her new husband, Zamir (who claims to be Irish), a terrorist, a crazed alcoholic, or both? Is her father’s hobby of butterfly collecting for real, or is it a cover for his involvement in a right-wing shadow government? Is her mother a theater-loving eccentric, or is she actually insane? Durang’s 2009 Off-Broadway hit answers all these questions and more with the author’s trademark rollicking wit!
