Theatervoorstelling ‘The Trials of Harvey Matusow’ in het Engels van en door Robert Cohen. Regie: Ralf Higgins.
‘The Trials of Harvey Matusow’ is the strange yet true story of a man who, at the height of the Cold War, succeeded in the seemingly impossible feat of uniting America’s left and right – in hatred for him. Once a keen communist, he became an FBI informer and a prolific witness in anti-red trials and hearings; he then set the cat among the stoolpigeons by admitting that almost all the evidence he’d given – for bodies such as HUAC, the US Justice Department, and Senator McCarthy’s Government Operations Committee – had been false.
