Visit: A tragi-comedy / Dürrenmatt, Friedrich; Bowles, Patrick(Tr.) 1973  Book
Dürrenmatt, Friedrich Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Jonathan Cape, 1973.
Description 111pOrange spine
Summary/Abstract A once prosperous town of Guellen, located somewhere in Europe, has been turned into poverty and its citizens are struggling to get by. The opening scene of this play shows us a decrepit train station decorated for a special occasion: the town is expecting the return of Claire Zachanassian -- a millionaire who had left the town of Guellen decades earlier with hardly a penny in her pocket. The mayor and the townspeople hope that Claire is returning to give them money to renovate the town's factory and to bring the town back into prosperity. This is clearly the only motivation for the special welcome as it soon becomes clear that nobody really remembers her or has thought of her during her absence.
