The horrific possibility that the Nazis turned Jews into soap is the catalyst for The Soap Myth, a play by Jeff Cohen.  Cohen’s lead characters, a survivor and a young investigative journalist, go on a collision course to ascertain how much fact is needed for something not to be fiction.  The Soap Myth, directed by Arnold Mittelman, includes set design by Heather Wolensky, costume design by David Winitsky and lighting design by Jason Scott.
