An Oxford Playhouse Adult Company production
By Friedrich Dürrenmatt. Translated by Maurice Valency
Directed by Emma Webb
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 the 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.
