John Conroy was instrumental in exposing the Chicago police torture scandal, and, for more than two decades, repeatedly reminded an indifferent public that justice had not been done. Much of his coverage of the issue can be found in his book, “Unspeakable Acts, Ordinary People” and in the Chicago Reader’s John Conroy Archive at chicagoreader.com/policetorture. Conroy is also the author of “Belfast Diary: War as a Way of Life.” “My Kind of Town” is his first play.
