A Shift of Opinion is a play based entirely on historical characters and events.

Jacob Schiff, a Jewish American banker and philanthropist, having heard of Jewish massacres in the Russian Empire, declares himself a personal enemy of the Russian Czar. Soon an opportunity for revenge presents itself.

The play features a parade of historical characters, from Teddy Roosevelt to Leo Tolstoy, and explores various historical parallels, including the subjects of antisemitism, immigration and Russian expansionism.
