UC Berkeley’s Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies presents:

THE ARSONISTS
By Max Frisch
Translated by Alistair Beaton
Directed by Patrick Russell

March 12–15, 2020
Durham Studio Theater, Dwinelle Hall, UC Berkeley

In a nameless town. At an unknown time. A community is on edge as arsonists wreak havoc in the night, going door to door, setting homes ablaze. When the self-assured businessman Biedermann finds himself with the arsonists on his doorstep, will he be prepared for their cunning and coercive tactics?

As timeless as it is timely, Max Frisch’s cautionary comic parable on greed, apathy, and the power of persuasion has the urgency of a ticking time bomb.
