"They told me to burn in hell, so I bought gasoline and poured it over myself," he says. Years of psychiatric treatment offered no relief, so Bullimore joined a support group for people similarly afflicted.

It was in Dante’s Purgatory that the play became overtly politically charged. In Hell, a series of perplexing, abstract torture sequences involving puppets and the reading of an interrogation log served to honor the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay.
