Description A show devised by Version 1.0 from the transcript of the "children overboard" inquiry. Comes complete with lie detectors.

From the Performance Space database:
"CMI was an edgy performance devised from the Senate Select Committee on a Certain Maritime Incident (CMI), the inquiry into the 'children overboard' scandal. This was not verbatim theatre, but an exploration of fundamental questions at the intersection between the personal and the political. In CMI six acting Senators wrestle with their wills, their words, their politics & each other.
