A description of the show follows:

Execution of Justice
By Emily Mann
Directed by Barbara M. Fraser
Louis B. Mayer Theatre/Nov. 7-9 and 12-15, 2008; 8pm (Sun 2pm)

Drawn from trial transcripts and documentary evidence, Execution of
Justice deftly recounts the 1978 assassination of San Francisco Mayor
George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, America's first openly
gay elected official. This compelling "theater of testimony"
examines the motives of Dan White, the conflicting social and political
ideals of the era, and the controversial courtroom ethics (such as the
infamous "Twinkie defense") that lead to one of history’s most
shocking verdicts.
