Nicholas Martin directs the show, which also features David Aaron Baker, John Pankow, Amir Arison, Audrie Neenan and Richard Poe. Why Torture Is Wrong tells the story of "a young woman suddenly in crisis," according to the Public. "Is her new husband, whom she married when drunk, a terrorist? Or just crazy? Or both? Is her father's hobby of butterfly collecting really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government? Why does her mother enjoy going to the theatre so much? Does she seek mental escape, or is she insane?"
