Deborah Margolin's play IMAGINING MADOFF will have its world premiere at Hudson, New York's Stageworks/Hudson from July 21 through August 7, the New York Times reports. The play was previously canceled at Washington's Theatre J due to complaints from Elie Wiesel, who was originally a character in the play and who found it 'obscene' and 'defamatory'. Wiesel has been replaced with a character called Solomon Galkin, who is a poet and, like Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor. Galkin shares much dialogue with the Wiesel character, the Times reports.
