Truman vs. Israel explores President Harry S. Truman’s unlikely ascent to the White House and the monumental decision that defined his legacy: recognizing the state of Israel. The play dramatizes the political and personal stakes of this pivotal moment in history.

At the center of the story is a tense exchange between Truman and pioneering lawyer Bella Abzug, whose incisive questioning challenges the former president to confront the complexities and consequences of his choice.

This new work examines themes of power, politics, and legacy, offering an intimate portrait of Truman as both a leader and a man under scrutiny.
