It's 1953, and soon after Julius and Ethel Rosenberg have been executed for spying against the United States, their attorneys are asked to re-enact their defense of the pair on an unscripted courtroom show airing on the then-extant DuMont Television Network. Did the Rosenbergs deserve capital punishment? You be the judge.

Louis Fantasia directs a cast that includes David Hunt Stafford, Jean Mackie, Abigail Stewart, Martin Thompson, Jeremy Schaye, Jenn Robbins, Michael Robb, Grinnell Morris, Warren Davis and Harry Herman. Stage directions are read by Gary Kaskel.

Dennis Richard is the playwright. His previous works include The Game Against Bobby Fischer, Oswald, Wreck, and Radio Mystery 1949.

Seven decades later, questions about The Rosenberg Case still linger.
