After a critically acclaimed sell-out run at the Finborough Theatre, Phil Willmott's new production of Arthur Miller's Incident at Vichy transfers to the King's Head Theatre. In this forgotten masterpiece about Jewish registration in Nazi-occupied France, Miller's play seems closer than ever to today's world of "Extreme Vetting" and religious persecution.
Director Phil Willmott says: "Demand to see this production took us all by surprise. With the show selling out after previews and even returned tickets snapped up within hours, I'm absolutely delighted that we're to embark on a second run at the King's Head and that many more people will experience this powerful and poignant drama. With the rise of the far right in Europe, no one can afford to ignore the sometimes uncomfortable truths about compliance and complicity laid bare by Miller's depiction of ten disparate and terrified prisoners, pulled off the streets and awaiting racial profiling."Photo credit: Scott Rylander
