Monologist Barry Levey announces the first run of his new play "Hoaxocaust!"

NEW YORK, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoaxocaust! is a shocking, irreverent examination of how "victims" are defined, how "truth" gets disseminated, and why, for all of us, politics are so stubbornly personal. Please join us as noted monologist Barry Levey asks daring questions about anti-Semitism and the reinterpretation of history. Is there such a thing as a contemporary Jewish identity independent of "The Holocaust"? Should there be? What if the Holocaust had never happened?

Hoaxocaust! to run from May 29th to June 17th at the Theater for the New City, New York City.

Hoaxocaust! is a theatrical experience, followed by talk back sessions, probing issues of cultural, ethnic and religious identity.

The performance allows you to situate yourself amidst the stereotypes and confusion of today's unfiltered news in an era of information overload.

Our timing could not be more spot-on.

"If the purpose of art is to provoke, I have never seen anything that did it more successfully than Hoaxocaust!" - Peter Alkalay, Chairman of The New Group ("Avenue Q")

Veteran producers, David Milch, a child of Holocaust survivors, and Jonathan Pillot bring this production to life.
