The Visit

October 2007
Directed by Glenn Havlan

Our 20th production by Friedrich Durrenmatt. A comedy with a grim plot: The depressed, grimy little town of Guellen in Central Europe receives a visit from the wealthiest woman in the world, who grew up there. She offers the town $1 billion if they kill one of their leading citizens, a shopkeeper who wronged and shamed her decades before. At first the townspeople refuse, but soon they start buying things on credit – even from the shopkeeper himself. What else can they do?
