About This Show

See, truth, like dope, is a controlled substance. And this homegrown comedy from Defiant Theatre Company’s Caesar, speeds through decades of social policy to figure out just who?s bogarting the facts, rolling in the profits, and mainlining the opiate of sensationalism. From beatnik jazz clubs to the halls of Congress, the mud of Woodstock to DEA headquarters, the coke labs of Central America to the Oval Office — Dope takes you on a whirlwind tour of the Drug War?s dens of iniquity as well as its halls of power. You get to decide which are sleazier.
