Denial

by Peter Sagal

Directed by Robin Walbeck-Forrest

Abigail Gersten is a Jewish lawyer, asked to defend the First Amendment rights of Professor Bernard Cooper, who publicizes the Holocaust as a Jewish hoax. Abigail is pulled into a moral quagmire, making her confront the differences between what is legal and what is right. The ensuing conflict concerns issues of history, memory, free speech and how the stories we tell about ourselves determine who we are.

Contains adult themes and language.

STAGED READING: MAY 14TH, 7:30pm

No set. No props. No costumes. No blocking. No light or sound cues. We read from our scripts. Storytelling in its purest form.

"This drama is practically radioactive with relevance. The issues in this case are so loaded that they are guaranteed to push emotional buttons in anyone who sees [it]. And Mr. Sagal is to be admired for offering no easy answers. There is unquestionably the stuff of great drama in Denial." --New York Times
