A review by dtpsweeney
Incident at Vichy by Arthur Miller

5.0

One of the best, most searing plays I have ever read. This cements Arthur Miller in my mind as one of the most important American artists of the 20th century; he has a piercing, unnerving ability to reveal the ways we harm one another through group (in)action, how unconfronted histories destroy us, and how evil nearly always takes banal shapes cloaked in authority.

What Miller has to tell us about America and human behavior is as urgent in our time as it was in his own. I wish it was not so, but I am grateful to be able to read and re-read and reflect on his work.
