Pasadena Playhouse opens Durrenmatt play The Visit with Jefferson Mays
Jefferson Mays directs Friedrich Dürrenmatt's The Visit at Pasadena Playhouse after the Amadeus revival closed there in February.
Production follows recent success
The production opened seven months after an Amadeus revival ended at the venue. Many cast and crew members carried over from that previous show to create this new run. The Playhouse has allowed the same creative team to return immediately for this followup.
Playwright and genre details
Swiss playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt wrote the script in 1956 as a black comedy. The work belongs to the theater of absurdism and features tragicomedy elements. Melinda Page Hamilton joins Jefferson Mays among the Tony winners leading the cast.
