"Awesome show, brilliant acting, great direction and a thoroughly entertaining, thought-provoking and disturbing ‘theatre of the absurd’ production!" "Loved it! Highly recommended!!"

EspectáculosBCN Read the amazing review (In Spanish) of The Visit in El Ciervo below.
Escapade continues to lay bare the pitiful state of human-kind in this epic example of Theatre of the Absurd meets German Expressionism.
When Claire Zachanassian, the richest woman in the world, returns to the town of Gullen, 40 years after she was cast out, there is only one thing on her mind: revenge. Will the poverty-stricken villagers succumb to her offer of “a million to kill Anton Schill”, or reject it in the name of humanity; “This is Europe, after all”. A tragi-comedy, The Visit is a macabre parable which poses the question; when the temptation is too strong and the poverty too wretched, would any of us act any differently? Mayor: “Justice can’t be bought.”- Claire: “Everything can be bought.” | ||
