Alternative Methods: A New Play, by Patricia Davis, Directed by Josh Liveright

 

An Iraqi doctor is detained, suspected of treating an Al-Qaeda leader. With the clock ticking, interrogators must quickly get the doctor to reveal where the safe house is. Susan, a young interrogation psychologist, witnesses severe acts of torture that still yield no intelligence. She takes matters into her own hands.
