Riverside Studios: Love and Madness, the Desire and Destruction Season

From the desire of a banker to destroy the economy to a terrorist’s deep seeded desire for justice, the Desire and Destruction season has something that will appeal to all. The crux of it can be read on loveandmadness.org but here are the highlights for your brief perusal, straight from them, to me, to you.
