Friedrich Dürrenmatt: The Physicists
Well the main thing that I can think of to say about this play is that the enjoyability of any performance would have to hinge on the actors involved. The text simply doesn't offer a lot. The idea is intriguiging, and the situation is positively hilarious, but not a lot of it comes across on the page. It's the sort of humor that would have to be delivered in complete earnest, not witty but sly. Of the kind that one must think about. As a result, I can't say that I enjoyed reading it much, but that I imagine I would enjoy seeing it on the stage quite a bit.
