LA Theatre Works

Denial (Part 1)


Listen Later

This play is sponsored by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program, a state-funded grant project of the California State Library.

In Peter Sagal’s contest of intellect and wills, Abby Gersten, a tenacious civil liberties attorney, defends a right-wing Holocaust denier, arguing her case against a young, committed Jewish federal prosecutor. But Abby may have to sacrifice everything to prove that Truth and Justice do not always go hand in hand.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in July of 1999.

Directed by Jenny Sullivan

Producing Director: Susan Albert Loewenberg
