Die Physiker 4/27 at 7 p.m.


The entire campus community is invited to a production of the play “Die Physiker” (The Physicists) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt. It is performed by advanced German students, in German with English supertitles. The performance will take place on Friday, April 27th at 7:00 p.m. in Kilworth Chapel. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.

Die Physiker is a classic cold-war era dark comedy that takes on the themes of madness and sanity, politics and humanity, and the power and inherent danger of knowledge. This is a phenomenal drama that remains part of the modern German dramatic repertory, but is, unfortunately, rarely to be seen in English-speaking countries. We are delighted to be able to bring it to the Puget Sound community."
