Abigail Gersten, a Jewish attorney and First Amendment Absolutist with a
history of defending unpopular clients, meets her match in Professor
Bernard Cooper, a Holocaust denier being harassed by the federal
government. Her decision to represent Cooper not only threatens her stature
in the community, it shakes her faith in what's true. As events spin out of
control, she must weigh what's legal versus what's right.

Before becoming host of NPR's WAIT, WAIT, DON'T TELL ME! *Peter Sagal *was
a playwright of renown. His plays DENIAL, MOST WANTED, KIM'S SISTER, WHAT
TO SAY, REAL TIME and MALL OF AMERICA have been staged from New York to
L.A. Among his writing honors: the Laurie Foundation Theatre Visions Award,
the O'Neill Center's Charles MacArthur Fellowship, two Playwrights' Center
Jerome Fellowships, and (his alma mater) Harvard University's McCord Arts
Prize.

Cleveland native *Lester Shane's* writing, acting and directing
credits include theatre, film and TV. Based in New York, he is on faculty
at New Actors Workshop, the American Academy of Dramatic Art, NY Film
Academy, Pace University and TADA! Ensemble. Cleveland directing credits
include: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, SWEET PHOEBE, A BRIGHT ROOM CALLED DAY,
