One of the books on President Bush's 2006 vacation reading list was Albert Camus' absurdist tale of senseless murder, The Stranger.
In hopes that the French philosopher might shed some light on the recent political clime - or vice versa - Mickle Maher's new play The Strangerer collides several of Camus' works with the first Bush/Kerry presidential debate in 2004.
A murder mystery with the murderers in plain view, it asks one of the most important questions of our day:
Why does our president want to kill a lot of innocent people?
