Acadia Theatre Company Obtains Exclusive Canadian Rights to a Maritime Premiere, Why Torture is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them, written by Christopher Durang, directed by Robert Seale.

Set against the backdrop of America’s homeland “insecurity”, the play begins as a young woman wakes up to discover she drunkenly married a man named Zamir, who claims to be Irish. Is he a terrorist? Could her father be involved in a secret shadow government? Why is she suddenly hearing voices? Durang piles the absurdities of family life, torture, and the war on terror into a bomb and detonates it. The fallout is something like sanity, and this script goes a long way toward disinfecting some long-festering political wounds.
