Lies

In the 90-minute, 2-character play (1f, early 40s; 1m, 25-28), set in 1950, a young and inexperienced Jewish lawyer for the New York public defender's office is asked to represent a female German-American WWII radio propagandist, imprisoned for treason, for her parole hearing. Except she's doesn't want to leave prison. It's an allegory--and the closest I could get to putting the White House and lying government officials on trial on stage.
