The Treatment (Ensler)
by Eve Ensler
Synopsis
THE STORY: This two-character drama delves into the layers of power, fear and intimacy that exist between a traumatized soldier (and former military interrogator) and the female psychologist colonel who is assigned to give him routine treatment.
THE TREATMENT is a blunt exploration of torture, accountability and a soldier's “duty” to commit atrocities in the name of democracy.

Ensler drives her point home…"
