The Visit of the Old Lady - Tragic Comedy

Description

Friedrich Dürrenmatt's worldwide success premiered in Zurich in 1956. The play tells the story of Claire Zachanassian, who returns as a billionaire to her impoverished hometown, where her heart was once broken and her honor stolen. She promises prosperity for all – and demands a murder in return. With the dry humor of a keen observer of human nature and the profundity of a soul researcher, Dürrenmatt raises the question of individual morality and depicts, in comically dark scenes, a society that threatens to disregard all rules. Look forward to a special evening with Mona Seefried in the lead role of Claire Zachanassian.
