Conscience—a play
Conscience is a play by Joe DiPietro focusing on the 1950s political clash between Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith and Senator Joseph McCarthy, highlighting Smith’s courageous “Declaration of Conscience” speech against McCarthy’s anti-communist witch hunts, exploring themes of political integrity, power, and truth in a divisive era. The play, first staged in 2020, examines McCarthy’s manipulative tactics and Smith’s stand as a beacon of moral courage, asking audiences to reflect on the relevance of such principles today.
