Incident at Vichy Tickets

A rare revival of one of Arthur Miller’s most unflinching and urgent plays.

A rare revival of one of Arthur Miller’s most unflinching and urgent plays.

France. 1942. A group of people are detained. Picked up off the street without explanation, they cling to the hope that this is nothing more than a routine identity check.

Over the course of an hour, as one by one they are called away for questioning, a terrible truth begins to emerge: they have been selected not at random, but for who they are.

Rarely performed, Incident at Vichy confronts our complicity and responsibility in the face of injustice. Olivier and Tony Award-nominated director Melly Still (Coram Boy, My Brilliant Friend, Morning ’til Midnight, Revenger’s Tragedy: National Theatre) returns to Arcola following her sold-out production of Sputnik Sweetheart.
