“REMARKABLE! Hilariously funny and awesomely tragic at the same time.” – Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com

Bin Laden is dead.

O.K., we’ve all seen the video that SFist thinks is “adorable” in which an ATV riding, flag-waving, gun-firing patriot is screaming “U.S.A.” repeatedly. We’ve all seen the fake photos of Osama Bin Laden’s dead body. And amidst all of the new internet memes surrounding Bin Laden’s death, we’ve all heard the familiar cries, back and forth, of “Torture Works!” – “No, it doesn’t!”

(…”It’s not torture!” – “Yes, it is!” – “It’s enhanced interrogation!” – “It’s torture!”…)

For one week only (5/5 to 5/12), I’m screening a film I shot of The Nonsense Company’s CONVERSATION STORM, a fantastic performance by The Nonsense Company and written by Obie award-winning playwright Rick Burkhardt. CONVERSATION STORM is 30 minutes of delirious conversation about torture from three sides of the political spectrum and you can watch it in its entirety by clicking HERE.

Please watch. It’s up for one week. It’s the length of a sitcom episode. Or five music videos. And it’s FREE. Watch it with friends. Engage in the conversation. And please, share your thoughts.
