| | Primo, a CurtainUp review |
| | Primo Levi was an Italian Jewish chemist who spent a year in Auschwitz and who survived to bring us one of the most accurate and moving descriptions of the inhumanity that was the Holocaust. | | | Although we may argue that nothing has rivaled the Holocaust as an example of mass cruelty at its most bestial and depraved, Primo Levis descriptions of the lives ruined and lost in detention camps have an indisputable correlation to those currently bearing witness to ethnic cleansing and wholesale extermination. | | | Sher, looking somewhat professorial, stands and moves or sits quite alone as Primo Levi, the object of designer David Howes extraordinarily shadowed lighting (a re-creation of the original lighting by London designer Paul Pyant). |

| | Primo Levi's story began on 31 July 1919 in Corso Re Umberto 75 in Turin, the house in which he would spend his entire life, write his works of testimony and commit suicide 68 years later. | | | Cesare Levi eventually died in 1942, and Primo's responsibility to provide for his family, coupled with the forced labour system which had been implemented in Turin, led him away from home for the first and only time (with the exception of Auschwitz). | | | By the time Primo entered the Liceo, however, Fascist educational reforms had removed these flamboyant and brilliant teachers from their posts for refusing to swear the oath of loyalty to Fascism. |

| | Writer and chemist, survivor and witness, Primo Levi was born in Turin, Italy, in 1919. | | | All of Levi's books were marked with a wry, heightened sanity--he seemed always to have emerged from the ordeal of the camps miraculously intact, almost devoid of bitterness. | | | Like most Italian Jews of his generation, Levi was assimilated to the hilt: "Religion," he later recalled, "did not count for much in my family." In 1938, however, his Judaism became a sudden and serious liability. |

| | So the task of any Levi biographer -- Myriam Anissimov attempted it, too, in her 1996 account, Primo Levi: Tragedy of an Optimist -- is to connect his life, his work, and his death in a way that makes sense of all three. | | | The core of her argument about Levi's "double bind" is that he struggled with both sexual desire and repression; that he both hated women and loved them; that he often feared acting on his impulses; and that he suffered as a result. | | | Levi's psyche -- his hidden inner life -- is her ultimate prey, and Angier proves a determined hunter. |
