The Law of Return at 4th Street Theatre

As Germany presently fumes about allegations of US spying, The Law of Return dramatizes a time when the shoe was on the other foot: a longtime ally was caught gathering intelligence on America. At this center of this strange episode -- and now the protagonist of this gripping play-- is Jay Pollard, a geeky intelligence analyst from suburban Maryland. Whether driven by ideology or personal gain, Pollard decides to secretly turn over thousands of classified documents to Israel. Once discovered by the US, he leads police on a wild chase through D.C. as he tries to get to the Israeli Embassy. Elise Thoron directs this original spy thriller by Martin Blank (Avenue of the Americas) at the 4th Street Theatre.
