About the play

Naomi Goldstein might finally get her play about her grandmother’s war heroism produced—if only Holocaust Superstar: The Musical weren’t just about to open. When Naomi learns that the upcoming musical has an oddly similar storyline and was written by her former mentor, she must decide how far to go to protect her play and her beloved grandmother’s story. Who owns a story? Can an idea really be stolen?
