BREAKDOWN

TRUMAN VS ISRAEL

SYNOPSIS: Back in his Missouri family home, Harry S Truman prepares to file suit against a journalist who characterized the former President as a bigot, racist, and anti-Semite working against the interest of the new state of Israel. Bella Abzug, a young lawyer fresh off a crushing civil rights case defeat, is dispatched with an enigmatic assistant to convince Truman that the risks in this case far outweigh any rewards. Truman v Israel is an (imagined) history play about the motives we hide from others (and ourselves) that alter the course of history.

NOTE: All ethnicities are welcomed and encouraged to audition. Every effort will be made to have a cast that is reflective of the world we live in with regard to racial diversity and gender identification.

SEEKING:

BELLA ABZUG: early-late 30s Jewish female. The first Jewish woman elected to Congress. An outspoken fighter for women’s rights & civil rights. She is hired to represent Harry Truman in his libel case.

HARRY TRUMAN: 60s-70s male. Former President of the United States. Devoted family man. Stubborn. Denies the accusations of bigotry.

DON MULLER: late 30s-50 male. An expert on the ‘48 Arab Israeli war and Holocaust survivor. Assists Bella on her case with Harry Truman. Simmering under the surface.

EDDIE JACOBSON: 50s-70 Jewish male. Harry Truman’s longtime friend. Organized the meeting between Truman and Weizmann, which led to the U.S. recognition of Israel. Kind, but steely.
