Genesis Theatrical Productions Presents The Latest In Their First Generation Series Of New Plays
'THE TRIAL OF HERSCHEL GREEN'
by Barbara Trainin Blank and Dean Kaner
The play was inspired by true events--events that changed the course of history. On November 7, 1938, Herschel Green, a German Jewish emigre, shot a Nazi official at the German Embassy in Paris to avenge the treatment of his family and other Jews in Germany. A day later, the official mysteriously died. On November 9 and 10 in Germany and Austria, the Nazis executed the revenge known as "The Night Of Broken Glass"-destroying thousands of Jewish-owned businesses and hundreds of synagogues, and sending 30,000 Jews to concentration camps. Herschel Green was brought to trial. The Trial Of Herschel Green is a courtroom battle of conspiracy theories played out between the Nazi prosecutor and French defense attorney. The question is: Who really killed Von Hinter, and why?

"TWO LIGHTS/ THE HOPPER PLAY"
By Brett Busang
Two Lights is about two artists who, because one is more successful than the other, find that their marriage is as fragile a thing as their egos. It is loosely based on Edward and Jo Hopper - who were never quite so frank about their troubles - and is set in the early 1940's.
