Der Beush der Alten Dame or The Visit of the Old Lady is a consummate, alarming blend of hilarity, horror, and vertigo from Friedrich Dürrenmatt, one of the major German-language dramatists of the twentieth century, as well as one of the most significant playwrights of our time.
The play takes place "somewhere in Europe" and tells of and elderly millionaires who, merely on the promise of millions, swiftly turns a depressed area into a boom town. But the condition attached to her largesse, which the locals learn of only after they are enmeshed, is justice. Dürrenmatt has fashioned a macabre and entertaining parable that is a scathing indictment of the power of greed.
"In an age when so much that's written for the theatre seems tentative and small, self-curious and undramatically reflective, Dürrenmatt's play, by comparison, is marked with the grandeur of an almost Jacobean excess... No other contemporary playwright makes us so keenly aware of his presence on the stage."
