Antony Sher's one-man stage adaptation of Primo Levi's If This is a Man is the detailed account of Levi's time as a prisoner in Auschwitz death camps. Primo recounts Levi's journey by cattle truck to Auschwitz, his initial harrowing days in the infamous death camp and continues through the first desperate winter, the forging of friendships, routine of daily life and the regular and barbaric process of 'selections' that determined who would live and who would die. 

"The person we encounter on the pages of Levi's book, and in Sher's perfectly judged performance, is a human being who has emphatically not been destroyed by the very worst this world has to offer. That is the beacon in this terrible darkness." Daily Telegraph.
