The Visit
by University of Texas Theatre & Dance

Oct. 29 - Nov. 08

The Visit opens on a small, dismal town as they prepare for the arrival of a mysterious millionairess – a former inhabitant whom they hope to win over as a benefactor. When she arrives, cloaked in grandeur, and offers to share her millions, the townspeople are ecstatic. That is, until they learn the condition of her generosity: the town must murder one of their own. Written by celebrated German-language dramatist Friedrich Dürrenmatt, and translated by Maurice Valency, The Visit weaves a macabre, grandiose and at times hilarious tale investigating the power of greed and desperation and the lengths one will go to seek justice.

Directed by Sunghyun Lim
