The Fire Raisers
A darkly comic and absurd play about the dangers of turning a blind eye to growing threats and the consequences of inaction.
The debut show from We Merry Dancers Theatre Company brings Max Frisch’s constantly relevant play to life.
In a town plagued by a series of mysterious fires, each new blaze dominates the headlines, leaving the community on edge.
With every fire stoking fear and suspicion, The Fire Raisers challenges us to ask: Who is truly to blame when disaster strikes?
‘Joking is the third best way of hoodwinking people.
The second is sentimentality.
But the best – and safest –
is telling the truth.
Oddly enough, no one believes it.’
Directed by Amy Gavin, co-director of ‘The Taming of The “Shrew”´(HER Productions) – one of The Stages Top 50 Shows in the UK 2024.
