Every word in Eric Bentley's docudrama is verbatim from the 1940s House Committee on Un-American Activities transcripts: the actual testimonies of Arthur Miller, Jerome Robbins, Paul Robeson, Elia Kazan, Lillian Hellman, and others under pressure to defend their integrity, protect their careers, or betray their peers, alongside the committee's own probing, chilling questions. A rotating all-star cast performs across the 15-week run on Stage 1.
