- ↑ Daily Telegraph, Charles Spencer, 1 October 2004, "At the end of this remarkable performance there was a silence unlike any other I have experienced in a theatre. Antony Sher's performance, directed by Richard Wilson on a stark, spare design by Hildegard Bechtler, and occasionally tellingly punctuated by a solo cello, is as controlled, as precise, and as free of hysteria, as Primo Levi's own lucid prose. He (Antony Sher) captures Levi's unsparing depiction of his fellow inmates, forced to prey on each other in order to survive. As a result, the moments of kindness and generosity the author witnessed at Auschwitz shine with a tentative, almost unbearable beauty."

It is far too powerful and affecting for that, this description of a period – mercifully quite short – of imprisonment in Auschwitz."
