Denial

Last year, David Irving went on trial in Europe for denying the Holocaust. Now, the Metropolitan Playhouse wrestles with issues of free speech and hatred in the New York premiere of Peter Sagal’s Denial.

When a Jewish ACLU lawyer signs on to defend the rights of a Holocaust denier, the foundation of her beliefs — and those of her silver-tongued client — are called into question. Originally produced at the Long Wharf Theatre, Metropolitan’s production will be the New York premiere of a play that the New York Times praised as having "the stuff of great drama."
