Why Torture is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them
by Christopher Durang
New England Premiere
May 5 - June 5, 2011
FELICITY: I have a funny feeling about him. I’m afraid he might be a terrorist. Or maybe he’s in the Mafia. Or maybe he’s
bipolar. Or maybe he’s a serial killer. Or maybe he’s just a drug addict and alcoholic and out of prison on parole.
MOTHER: Who are you talking about, dear?
FELICITY: My husband, my husband, my husband!
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?
The New England premiere of Durang’s 2009 Off-Broadway hit answers all these questions and more with the author’s
trademark rollicking wit! |
