The recurring theme of all his plays is the relationship between a man's identity and the image that society demands of him. “An Incident at Vichy” is a one-act play by Arthur Miller written in 1964 about a group of men who await interrogation and racial “identification” by German soldiers and French Police in Vichy, France. I do wonder what happened to the French Gentile who really made that sacrifice, and indeed to Von Berg, the one in Arthur Miller’s play.The dialogue in this does not feel realistic or natural at all, it feels extremely theatrical and meticulous.

This play is spooky. For in this claustrophobic antechamber to the death camps, everyone is guilty. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.

His plays have been called "political," but he considers the areas of literature and politics to be quite separate and has said, "The only sure and valid aim---speaking of art as a weapon---is the humanizing of man."
