This Tony award-winning musical tells the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory owner whose life is turned upside down after being accused of a heinous crime. The 1913 trial, exploited by the media, provoked anti-Semitic tensions in Atlanta and the state of Georgia. The trial ignites a deep love between Frank and his wife, out of what once was an unfeeling arranged marriage. This intense and deeply emotional story is a testament to the strength of marital love, and an introspective look into race relations, prejudice and a justice system gone awry.
