Defamation: First See the Play; Then Be Part of the Jury

"Defamation challenges our preconceived notions about race, class, religion and even the law.  As audience members and then jurors, we learn as much or more about ourselves as we do the plaintiff and the defendant."  So says playwright Todd Logan.

On the surface, the play is an old-fashioned courtroom drama involving a professional African-American woman, a successful Jewish businessman and an heirloom watch; but underneath, it's about much more.  Preview the afternoon at www.defamationtheplay.com.
