Description This provocative and riotous examination of the ‘War on Terror’ era in the United States, with its twisted logic and the resulting cults of violence and paranoia, zeroes in on private terrors and preoccupations with biting black humour. Christopher Durang is a social satirist in the great tradition of Aristophanes and Jonathan Swift and Dario Fo and this is one of his funniest plays.
