“Denial” asks how a strong young woman might retake the high road of her parents’ ideals even as their failure to live up to them has plunged them into public shame.
A Governor recently convicted of corruption accuses Attorney General Richard Graham of having used the Justice Department illegally for political purposes. Graham, who categorically denies any federal involvement in the matter, is the re-elected President’s longtime friend and political ally. The play follows Graham’s explanations to his wife, blind mother, and college-student daughter, while news teams camp in front of their house and the White House leaves him “twisting in the wind.” Events point toward a familiar TV scene: Public Figure’s Humiliating Resignation with Loyal Wife at Elbow. But Anne Graham has put Richard on notice that she won’t be there for him. Daughter Liz has to take sides between them, disillusion her grandmother, and confront her father with the hardest decision of his life.
