Revision of ON PREJUDICE & FAITH, A Play in Two Acts



SYNOPSIS:  Drama.  This full-length play concerns events surrounding the murder of 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913.  Jewish factory supervisor Leo Frank was convicted of the crime, but the identity of the real murderer remains unsolved.  The case stirred up much bigotry and hatred against Jewish people in the region.  With overtones of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice (which is quoted in the play), this is a story about prejudice.
