Stubborn Things
Synopsis:
Historical documents, real-life expert witness reports, and trial transcripts are woven into the action of this full-length drama, which tackles the 2000 Irving v. Lipstadt libel trial from multiple perspectives. At the center of Stubborn Things is David Irving, the 61-year-old British writer who has brought a libel suit against U.S. historian Deborah Lipstadt as a challenge to her description of him as "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial." Irving's dialogue in the play consists entirely of his own words, allowing us the unique opportunity to come to know this complex man in a new way and decide for ourselves the degree to which he might very well believe his own claims. Thirty-five hundred miles from the London courtroom media circus where Irving v Lipstadt would take place, a research assistant examines a seemingly endless pile of horrific documentary evidence from her cramped basement office at a New York university. It is here that Gail Brooks undertakes the grueling historical work of trying to prove that Irving's revisionist claims are not only wrong, but are hateful lies. As Gail struggles to assemble the expert witness report that will effectively demolish Irving's reputation, she is met with new and unwelcome challenges: her fellow research assistant (Jason) is leaving the project; her closest friend (Andy) doubts the value of her work; and now, most disturbingly, she finds herself face-to-face with a menacing vision of Irving himself. Racing to meet her deadline, Gail is pressed to the limits of her fierce self-reliance, and must confront the possibility that no one can determine when an innocent mistake becomes a deliberate distortion of the truth. Through these four characters and their individual points of view, Stubborn Things challenges an audience to decide how we are to contend with repulsive ideas. . .and with the men and women like David Irving who spread them.
