ReinART Productions presents The False Witness, The Trial of Humanity’s Consciousness written by Florida attorney/playwright Robert Krakow and directed by Reed Meschefske.
The False Witness, is an original morality research-based theatrical drama set in the fictitious Eternal Court of Justice courtroom. Adolf Hitler is being brought before this criminal court due to his affiliation with the persecution and murder known as the Holocaust. It questions our right to solely blame the Holocaust to Hitler and his Third Reich and also challenge the conventional wisdom on who is to really blame for the perceived Jewish threat to western civilization.
Part courtroom drama and part history lesson, this interactive performance in which the audience is sworn in as the jury brings a virtual who’s who of anti-semitic personalities including Adolf Hitler featuring actor William Potter who is on the stand in an effort to ascertain just who bears final responsibility for the Holocaust.
The unique historical witnesses for the Defense on trial include Richard Wagner performed by Dan Burkarth, Stephen Rubin as Shakespeare, DonConve
Martin Luther acts as the Counsel for Defense with actor David McConnell. Anne Frank is the Prosecutor performed by teen actor Sage Merriam. The Chief Justice performed by Nadine Grantham Philips presides firmly and maintains order and weighs the evidence from both sides, knowing that what is at stake is the moral foundation of the world.
The audience impaneled as the jury will participate through a post-production discussion on the verdict with the playwright Robert Krakow, who acts as the Jury Foreman. “My objective was not only to present Hitler on trial but the trial of Germany, Christianity and mankind”.
Each performance has a special guest for the Court Clerk who swears in the jury.
