Synopsis
Cast: 9m, 2w, 1 boy. An intensely dramatic & moving play, An Uncertain Hour tells the story of the transformation of Primo Levi, Italian-Jewish chemist, into a writer because of his experience in Auschwitz. The play poetically explores the spiritual struggle at the heart of all of his writing: the dual effort of every person to resist spiritual as well as physical extinction & to construct a meaning for human existence. The style of the play is rooted in the forms of oral storytelling common to the poets of the mountain country of northern & central Italy. This style understands the actors as storytellers, performing whatever roles or tasks are necessary to communicate the story to the audience. An Uncertain Hour portrays Levi as a Dante for our times, calling us from the "infernos" of our own making, the various false lights of modern ideologies & dominating powers, to a genuine, human "paradiso," the light of sympathetic understanding, courageous compassion & generous creativity for the good of all—the true purpose of science & art. Unit set.
