Description
The Visit A Tragi-comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt In this powerful drama, a wealthy woman returns to her impoverished hometown with a shocking proposal. In exchange for restoring the town's prosperity, she demands that the townspeople kill the man who jilted her. As the story unfolds, the true cost of this bargain becomes clear, revealing a population willing to sacrifice loyalty and scruples for the promise of riches. Dürrenmatt's masterpiece is a searing critique of modern society, exposing the absurdities of human nature in the face of desperation. With its subtle exploration of parochial politics and horrific climax, The Visit is a thought-provoking work of experimental theatre that lingers long after the final page is turned. Published in 1973, this new edition of The Visit remains a powerful and thought-provoking work, offering a stark commentary on the human condition.
