You really must look into the Starship Troupers books (No, that really -isn't- a typo). Theatre, -wonderful- characters, occaisional sidesplitters and some of the most -wonderful- literary political and social heckling it's ever been my pleasure to witness.
Alas, they didn't make money, so he stopped after only three of them, but those are lots of fun - A Company of Stars, We Open on Venus, A Slight Detour, savaging would-be censors(/the Republican Party), unrestricted business (which looks like an old West Virginia coal town for a -reason-), and theocracies (mostly based on the Pilgrims and such, but oh well) respectively.
Blessed be.

("Do you mind?! We're having an argument here!"
("Do you have enough mind for an argument here?"
("Of course!"
("Then have another drink...")
