This ambitious project sets out to explore the power of humour as a weapon of torture, and very much succeeds. A curious spectacle, it is a play based on real reports that shock and disturb and which dares you to laugh! A young army officer perfects his comic techniques as a tool to extract information from Middle Eastern terror suspects who are trained to resist torture by way of meditation. As 'traditional' interrogation methods fail, the UK Security Services enlist him along with a veteran comedian to use humour as a means of unsettling the detainees' resolve. Our senses are bombarded from all sides with bright lights, sudden darkness and loud sounds where macabre mingles with the funny and the surreal is at times rational. You have to see this amazing performance. Contains strong language that may make it unsuitable for people under 16yrs.T1929811492Producer Reeling and Writhing. Producer Platform.
