 Tony Award Winning - Emmy Nominated Team Present A Fiery New Take on Max Frisch’s Incendiary Masterpiece
Passive complicity has never been so much fun. This unforgettable post WWII classic, The Arsonists, comes to the Skylight Theatre from an award-winning creative team led by Luke Harlan (The Gilded Age), Jeff Marx (Tony Award, Avenue Q, music/lyrics), and Andrew Hawkins (Old Show Queens). Promising a compelling blend of theatrical virtuosity and wit, this headline-relevant commentary shines with our “in the moment” nightmares on contemporary denial and political apathy.
Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermann’s home. Then a stranger appears at the front door. Everyone sees it coming—no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus.
Written in the aftermath of World War II and echoing into our present, The Arsonists is an absurdly funny and quietly chilling modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good. What follows is an exhilarating satire of self-deception, and a look at the remarkable human capacity to ignore the obvious.
