The 11th-grade drama class’s production of a remarkable adaptation of Dürrenmatt

In her DS course, Ms. Müller-Tesseraux succeeded in bringing Dürrenmatt’s *The Visit* not only into the present but also to Marburg, and on June 22 she presented an extremely enthusiastic troupe that provided the applauding audience with a good hour of excellent entertainment:

In Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s play *The Visit*, billionaire Claire Zachanassian returns after many years to the impoverished small town of Marburg, where she spent her youth. While the town’s residents hope for a windfall, she wants to take revenge on Alfred Ill, a native of Marburg. Through several marriages, Claire has managed to amass a considerable fortune and now makes the people of Marburg an immoral offer…

Merle Skrzypek was an excellent choice for the lead role of the “Old Lady,” and the director had also shown a keen eye in casting the other roles.
