Set in Auschwitz, the play follows Fania Fenelon, a Jewish pianist, and her struggle to survive the horror of the camp. Arthur Miller adapts his television version of the eponymous book for the stage, showing the relationships between the prisoners and the constant threat of death, in a drama about survival and morality.
The play was published in London in 1990 in the NHB Modern Plays series.
It is aimed at readers of contemporary theatre, drama students, and audiences interested in the Holocaust from the perspective of testimony.
