On March 20th, 'The Secret Order of Revolutionary Operettists presents'...The Beastly Bombing or a Terrible Tale Of Terrorists Tamed By The Tangles Of True Love, at the Trap Door Theatre.

The Beastly Bombing's controversial but hilarious take on modern politics, fundamentalism and the war on terror has produced a touchstone event, leading to debate about which issues comedy can address in our polarized society.
