This one act play was written in 1964, over 20 years after the events that it portrays. The scene is a detention center in Vichy, France where several people have been selected for inspection of their papersobviously to determine if they are Jews. Why these players banter about the reason for their detention (considering where they are), the political situation, and later concoct a plan of escape (?) is beyond the scope of belief. Any authority overhearing their prate would immediately denounce them, guilty or not. Why he wrote it may be obvious; why so long after the fact is not. What occurred in 1964 that necessitated this reawakening?
