The Arsonists

Stroud

7th - 9th May 2020

19.30 pm

Fires are becoming a problem, but Biedermann has it all under control. A respected member of the community with a loving wife and flourishing business, he believes nothing can get to him. Being the great philanthrope, he happily fulfils his civic duty, giving shelter to two new houseguests and when they start filling the attic with petrol drums, he'll help them wire the fuse.

Originally known as ‘The Fire Raisers’ Max Frisch's 1958 play has been translated for a new age by Alastair Beaton and premiered at The Royal Court in 2007. This parable about the way in which we will accommodate the very thing that will destroy us, was described by Michael Billington in The Guardian as ‘edgy and funny’ and 'a timeless political satire’.

Whether you approach it as a timeless political satire, a morality play without a moral or just a jolly good romp, it will make you laugh and give you something to talk about.
