The Arsonists


  • DramaSoc c/o UCSA 90 Ilam Rd Christchurch, Canterbury, 8041 New Zealand (map)

The Arsonists is a classic satire by Swiss playwright Max Frisch. It tells the story of Gottlieb Biedermann, an average businessman who accidentally lets two arsonists stay in his house. Chaos and comedy ensues, as the Biedermann household tries to get its head around what they have thrown themselves into. The Arsonists is an hilarious but dark depiction of how normal people allow evil to flourish when they do nothing.
