Adapted by the distinguished actor-playwright Antony Sher from the seminal memoir of Holocaust survivor Primo Levi (1919-1987), Primo is a one-man drama with a world of meaning beyond its deceptively simple format. In quiet but unsparing language, Primo Levi narrates the story of how he, an Italian-Jewish chemist, was captured by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz. "Concentration camp life" proves[ZiYuantun.Com] a contradiction in terms, as Primo and the other prisoners are systematically stripped of possessions, identity and pride; and fed the barest minimum possible so they can work at forced labor in freezing temperatures. Primo forms a close bond with fellow chemist Alberto, and treasures the few moments of humanity and hope the two are able to find in this living hell. Still, even as they survive, the specter of being selected for extermination always hangs over the prisoners. With his narrative, Primo offers a rare glimpse into the last days before the liberation of the camp by Russian soldiers, in the wake of the Nazis' retreat. 译文(3): 由著名演员兼剧作家安东尼·谢尔改编自大屠杀幸存者普里莫·李维（1919-1987）的开创性回忆录，《普里莫》是一部单人戏剧，其意义超越了看似简单的形{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。普里莫·莱维用平静但毫不留情的语言讲述了他是一名意大利犹太化学家，如何被纳粹俘虏并送往奥斯威辛的故事。
