Shownotes Transcript

This play is sponsored by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program, a state-funded grant project of the California State Library.

In Vichy, France, in 1942, nine men are detained under a shadowy pretext. As the tension builds, the men are questioned – are they the sort of people whom the new Nazi regime considers "inferior?"

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in February 2002.
