The extraordinary story of the women's orchestra in Auschwitz,
originally filmed for television with Vanessa Redgrave, and adapted
for the stage by Miller himself. Fania Fenelon, a Parisian singer,
is arrested by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz. There, she finds
herself swept into the orchestra, composed entirely of female
prisoners and founded as entertainment for the camp commandants. As
long as the orchestra continues to find favour, its members will be
spared the gas chambers. But Fania is struggling with the
corruption of what she holds most sacred in the world - her music -
and the morals of the orchestra members are being ground down every
day. They are, quite literally, playing for time. Arthur Miller's
stageplay Playing for Time is adapted from the 1980 CBS television
film, written by Miller himself, and based on acclaimed musician
Fania Fenelon's autobiography The Musicians of Auschwitz. The
television film starred Vanessa Redgrave as Fenelon. The stageplay
was first staged at 1-Act Theatre, San Francisco, in 1985.
