Annalisa vive da anni nella sua tenuta; spersa nel cuore degli Abruzzi. Si egrave; lasciata andare; ritrovandosi trasandata; grassa e soprattutto lsquo;solarsquo;. Orfana di entrambi i genitori non si egrave; mai sposata e; dopo unrsquo;infausta esperienza lavorativa post laurea vissuta a Roma; si egrave; chiusa in una sorta di autosufficienza esistenziale dalla quale non intende assolutamente uscire. Ci penseranno Gemma e i suoi amici a risvegliarla; giovani musicisti girovaghi che giunti per caso una sera a casa sua; nel bene e nel male la sproneranno e accompagneranno in una difficile ricerca interiore. Il terremoto dellrsquo;Abruzzo; lrsquo;alcolismo e una naturale inclinazione di Annalisa allrsquo;autocommiserazione; non basteranno a fermarla nella riscoperta di se stessa. Una prova ostica di vita; che non mancheragrave; di assumere connotati drammaticihellip; fino allrsquo;inatteso finale.

In 1948; Ella Wheeler Wilcox said; "To sin by Silence when we should soeak out makews cowards out of men". She could not have been speaking of Arthur Miller; as that was the yeare that "incident at Vichy" premiered. And if silence is a sin; Miller is sitting in heaven on the right hand of god with plenty of parchment; a full ink well and- l;ets face it- a MacBook Pro. During the Occupation of France during World War II; the Nazis established the city of Vichy as a place to "check papers" and to deport hundreds of thousands of people by grain to south east Poland to be exterminated. This play moves without a break- yes; the audience is just as much prisoners as the dozen or so men who wait to be interrogated on stage. WE get to know them all; but some much better than others and we learn that one of our favorites will no doubt be gassed within days.He is a Jew in southern France with bogus papers. He had a good hiding place with his wife and children but ventured out that morning to try to find codeine for a tootch ache that had become infected in his wifes lower jaw. On the street; he was detained; his nose was measured and he was brought to this detention center.` In a way that only Arthur Miller could do ; we are right there with there as the arguments and discussions o on between them while one after another is taken into thre office behind tghem. There are some we know will die; some we know will not. Those in question we form our own opinions about them but in the end it comes down to the morality of two men and the answer to the question; " What then must we do?" This is an all male cast; so its a fantastic project for a male prep school or college (How many times can you do twelve Angry Men) Arthur Miller is teimless and always remains fresh on the stage.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed reading itBy CustomerThis is the first of Miller I have read. Its remarkable how Miller can develop such rich characters and such a moving drama in so few pages. I dont know. Maybe its not. Length and emotional gravity may be independent of one another. Anyway; I enjoyed reading it. Its both a reminder of mans potential for cruelty; and an appeal to his potential for compassion. Beautiful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Arthur Miller playsBy Jerry QuinnGreat little book. Great seller.
