Details

Friedrich Durrenmatt's satirical and experimental black comedy deals with Claire Zachanassian's revenge against the money worshipping villagers of her native town, Gullen. Full of grotesque humour, the distressing love-story that unfolds has firm roots in folk lore and is given a light touch whilst dealing with serious issues such as hypocrisy, greed, inhumanity and man's ability to justify his actions - whatever they may be. The Gulleners pave their own way to murder! Northern Stage is delighted to be collaborating with Northumbria University and their final year BA Hons Performing Arts students. There will also be a series of script readings, presentations and discussions.
