Incident at Vichy
Incident at Vichy
a
DRAMA
by Arthur Miller
March 7 - 23, 2002
An intense, meaningful play which deals with the Nazis' inhuman treatment of the Jews - and the burden of guilt which all men must share. In 1942, in the detention room of a Vichy police station, eight men have been picked up for questioning. As they wait to be called, they wonder why they were chosen. At first, their hopeful guess is that only their identity papers will be checked. But it soon develops that all of them are Jews or are suspected to be. One by one they disappear for interrogation until only two remain. The startling change of events at the end of this gripping play, redeems, at least in part, the concern and honour of decent men everywhere.
