Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller, "Incident at Vichy" is set at the height of World War II. In Vichy, France, nine men and a boy are rounded up under suspicious circumstances. As ominous reports of far-off camps and cattle cars packed with prisoners begin to circulate, the men battle over politics, philosophy and how to escape. Longtime Signature director Michael Wilson helms this haunting examination of the cold, bureaucratic efficiency of evil - and the shared humanity that might overcome it.
Starring Richard Thomas and Jonathan Hadary, the play centers on a group of male detainees, most of them Jewish, who have been rounded up by German and French officers for interrogation. As the men try to figure out why they have been brought together, their conversation widens to embrace the most fundamental questions of identity, both ethnic and ethical.
The play deals with powerful themes of guilt and responsibility, tautly dramatized and well-defined. It has a gripping cumulative power that builds to a surprising conclusion, which is at once uplifting and tragic. The staging is highly effective, with sound and projection effects heightening the tension at key moments
