In The Visit (original title Der Besuch der alten Dame), Claire
Zachanassian, now a multimillion heiress and an older woman,
returns to the impoverished town of her youth with a dreadful
bargain: in exchange for returning the town to prosperity through
her vast wealth, she wants the townspeople to kill the man who
jilted her. From its subtle exploration of parochial politics to
its horrific climax, The Visit shows a population willing to
sacrifice loyalty and scruples in the pursuit of riches. It is a
drama of the absurd that reduces human nature to its most
ridiculous depths. Durrenmatt was one of the most important figures
of modern European drama and The Visit remains both a powerful
critique of twentieth century civilisation and an outstanding piece
of experimental theatre.
