INCIDENT AT VICHY Comes to Head Trick Theatre This Month

Ten people, rounded up off the street, sit in a detention center in Nazi-collaborationist France, suspected of being Jewish. Waiting to be called in to the room where they and their papers will be inspected and questioned, they confront the truth of what will happen to the people who do not come back through that door, and of the fear, hatred, and complicity that lie in the human heart.

“Incident at Vichy is sixty years old and feels shockingly, upsettingly contemporary,” says artistic director Rebecca Maxfield. “Issues of antisemitism, complicity, rising fascism, and the desperate need for empathy and solidarity with the ‘other’ did not end with the Holocaust, and Arthur Miller’s words will strike surprising chords with audiences that resonate long after they have left the theatre.”
