The Rubenstein Kiss at Contemporary American Theatre Company

A combination of the Cold War and the McCarthy hearings sets a tone for betrayal in this country. Inspired by the true story of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, this powerful American premiere winds through the mysterious corridors of history to reveal the anguish of a family and their yearning for justice. When Jakob and Esther Rubenstein are punished for an act of industrial espionage, we are left to decide if they were guilty or the victims of zealots.
