Ready for a haunting examination of the cold, bureaucratic efficiency of evil—and the shared humanity that might overcome it? Emmy winner Richard Thomas, along with Tony nominees Jonathan Hadary and Jonny Orsini, have been enlisted for Incident at Vichy. Penned by Arthur Miller and directed by Michael Wilson, the previously reported production will play a limited engagement October 27 through December 6. Opening night is set for November 15 in The Irene Diamond Stage at The Pershing Square Signature Center.
Joining Thomas (The Waltons), Hadary (Gypsy) and Orsini (The Nance), will be David Abeles (Once), Curtis Billings (The Trip to Bountiful), James Carpinello (Rock of Ages), AJ Cedeño (Strawberry & Chocolate), Quinlan Corbett (Rosario and the Gypsies), Brian Cross (Desire), Demosthenes Chrysan (Golden Boy), Jonathan Gordon (Orphans), Alex Morf (Of Mice and Men), Darren Pettie (Butley), John Procaccino (The Qualms), Alec Shaw (Off-Broadway debut), Derek Smith (Desire) and Evan Zes (The Freedom of The City).
Celebrating the Centennial of Arthur Miller’s birth, Incident at Vichy returns the work of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright to Signature for the first time since his 1997-98 Residency. In Vichy, France at the height of World War II, nine men and a boy are rounded up under suspicious circumstances. As ominous reports of far-off camps and cattle cars packed with prisoners begin to circulate, the men battle over politics, philosophy and how to escape.
The production will feature scenic design by Jeff Cowie, costume design by David C. Woolard, lighting design by David Lander, sound design by John Gromada, projection design by Rocco DiSanti and fight direction by Mark Olsen.
