Incident at Vichy in London

Incident at Vichy is one of Arthur Miller’s most searching plays, and it is rarely performed. Set in France in 1942, it follows a group of strangers detained in a waiting room after being picked up off the street. They hope it is only a routine identity check, but as they are called away one by one for questioning, it becomes clear that they were chosen for who they are.

Olivier and Tony Award-nominated director Melly Still returns to the Arcola after her sold-out production of Sputnik Sweetheart.

France, 1942. A group of people is detained after being picked up off the street without explanation. They cling to the hope that this is only a routine identity check.

As they are called away one by one for questioning, a terrible truth begins to emerge: they have been selected not at random, but for who they are. Over one hour of tense, carefully paced drama, the play confronts how ordinary people respond when injustice is carried out in front of them.

This production is a rare chance to see Miller’s play live, from a director who has worked on some of the most acclaimed productions in British theatre.
