Schadenfreude! The Asshole Differential Explained hits the stage like a water balloon full of chocolate syrup!	This muti-media political happening combines video, vaudeville, circus punk, Brechtian alienation, Kung-Fu, Chekhov, and much more
to explore sex, violence, and power in the context of a tough prison drama. It is the story of three prisoners in a Guantamo-esque prison, floating on the new seas created by the drowning of the world.
In this un-named prison a Monkey a Dog and a Banana are incarcerated indefinitely and are tortured by a repressed Guard.	The Leader (a certain ex-president who happens to run the prison as a snuff film location) watches lustily.
Sentries ponder the meaning of life and reminisce about apples, and twins Rupert and Molly, separated in youth, work reluctantly for the prison while pod casting to the masses (they hope) fomenting revolution to save the world!
Written by the irrepressible Moira Cutler, this tragic and hilarious play will leave you gasping for breath having swung from the horrors of torture to the magic of birth and back again.		With Lee Avant, Christopher Burris*, Moira Cutler, Patricia Drozda*, Katie Fable, Jade Nye, Katy Rubin, Barbara Seifert, and Stephanie Taylor*.
