Claire Zachansassion, the world’s richest woman, returns to her impoverished and decrepit home town with a chilling ultimatum: a billion pounds on one condition… Her devastating offer tests the town’s morals to their limits and leads to a shocking conclusion. Exploring themes of revenge, power, temptation and corruption, Durrenmatt’s 1956 masterpiece, written at the height of absurdism and described as ‘a devastating play’ by critics, provides a chilling critique of capitalism and comment on the corruptibility of man.
