The Visit
A tense production of Dürrenmatt’s The Visit about revenge and moral collapse, staged in an intimate main-stage studio.
by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, translated by Maurice Valency
In the struggling town of Güllen, hope arrives. Claire, once dismissed, now returns; impossibly wealthy and, promising prosperity — hospitals restored, schools revived, lives rebuilt. But her generosity carries a chilling condition. With vengeance in her heart, she delivers an ultimatum forcing the town to confront its past. As temptation tightens its grip, morality wavers. Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s The Visit is a searing tale of politics, past loves, and revenge; salvation has never seemed so sinister.
Performed by The Playhouse Adult Company, our multi-generational ensemble for those aged 26 and over, this performance transforms the Main Stage into an intimate studio space placing the audience at the heart of the action.
