Incident at Vichy by Arthur Miller

“Horror and confusion in the face of the atrocities of the Holocaust made for some of Miller’s most profound writing. In Incident at Vichy recent detainees of the occupying regime grapple with fears and uncertainty, and an eerie intimation of the fate that awaits them.”
Andy Dubrov, Jewish Theatre News

After the Fall by Arthur Miller

Miller observed, “The Mind has no color, but its memories are brilliant against the greyness of the landscape.” After The Fall is a play about guilt, loss and cruelty – and yet the playwright’s pioneering vision of total theatre infuses the play with such a heady mix of music, dance and startling imagery it is the spirit of human endurance that ultimately triumphs.
