The ninth circle of Dante’s Inferno is not flame, but a lake of ice in which the worst possible sin — treachery — is punished. Tricklock Company’s newest play, “Traitors,” claims to be about treachery, but is in fact much more about America and God, so it seems strange not to mention it at all. There’s even a Greek chorus, which takes the form of the Fury-esque Triple Goddess of the Maiden, Mother and Crone, though they are credited as II (Hannah V.
