Set in a detention room in Vichy, France, during the 1942 Nazi occupation, the narrative follows nine men and a boy detained under suspicion. The play examines the ethical responsibility of individuals, specifically through the character of Prince Von Berg, as they face the existential threat of systemic persecution. Miller elevates the historical circumstances to address enduring questions about values, conscience, and the complicity of the bystander in the face of injustice. This edition includes details on the Lincoln Center Repertory Theatre production and provides an overview of Miller's extensive bibliography, reflecting his career-long dedication to self-searching, socially conscious drama that challenges the audience to confront the darker aspects of human history and personal accountability.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/incident-at-vichy-a-new-play-by-arthur-miller/568448/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/incident-at-vichy-a-new-play-by-arthur-miller/568448.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"pop
