Jacob's Ladder was penned by Dennis Bailey and David Mixner. The play, according to press notes, is described as such: "In the spring of 1944, at the height of World War II, a highly sensitive, top secret debate was being waged within the Roosevelt Administration. A daring and controversial proposal had been set forth to divert Allied forces to bomb the concentration camps in Eastern Europe. Immediately, passionate, compelling arguments arose between two factions: those hoping to possibly stem a developing holocaust and others determined to save the millions already incarcerated. A young, unassuming low-level newcomer to the White House, Jacob Greenstein, is unexpectedly thrust in the midst of the polarizing discussion with a surprising chance to influence a decision that could alter history forever."
