The Visit of the Old Lady - A Tragic Comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt

A tragic comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt
with Mona Seefried and others

Friedrich Dürrenmatt tells the story of Claire Zachanassian, who returns to her impoverished hometown as a billionaire. Once her heart was broken and her honor stolen. Now she promises prosperity for all - but at the price of murder.

With the dry humor of a keen observer of human nature and the psychological insight of a soul searcher, the author poses the question of individual morality. In scenes both comic and abysmal, he paints a portrait of a society threatening to abandon all boundaries.
