I'm not much of a theatre-goer but I wish I had known about this when it was still on stage.

Charlie Victor Romeo is a documentary play, based on transcripts taken from the black boxes of downed airplanes, the final communication between air personnel and the tower. A serious and sober look at the way people actually behave during a crisis, it won the 2000 Drama Desk Awards for Best Unique Theatrical Experience and Outstanding Sound Design, the 2000 New York Fringe Festival awards for Excellence in Drama and Outstanding Sound Design, and the Backstage West Garland Award for Best Sound Design. It was filmed by the U.S. Air Force to be used as a training video for pilots and "has been invited to be performed for groups of physicians and healthcare administrators studying the effects of human error and emergencies in a medical context"

This comes from a larger article about the Feds' case against the Critical Art Ensemble.
