North Suburban Synagogue Beth El and Continuum Theater present "Denial" by Peter Sagal
Professional actors perform a staged reading of Peter Sagal's play, "Denial". This performance is a feature of the Chicago Jewish Play Reading Festival 2016 produced by Continuum Theater.
Lawyer Abigail Gersten defends the 1st amendment right to free speech. Her new client, Professor Bernard Cooper, is a Holocaust denier. As relevant today as it was when first written, this compelling play asks the question in Abigail's own words: " ...if I had to make a stand, if I had to make a choice between what was easy and what was right, what would I do?".
A moderated discussion about the play and Holocaust denial follows the show. Light refreshments provided.
This presentation is generously hosted by North Suburban Synagogue Beth El and co-sponsored by the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
