Classic Theatre Presents THE FIREBUGS, Opening 10/12

By:

The Firebugs is a dark comedy by Swiss playwright Max Frisch.  Gottlieb Biedermann, a cautious German businessman, discovers that the two men who have entered his home disguised as salesmen are the arsonists who have already burned down much of the town.  He and his wife, concerned only with saving themselves and their home, lodge them, feed them a sumptuous dinner, and provide them with all the matches they can possibly use -- all of which serves only to postpone the inevitable holocaust. 

Biedermann:  "I'm a free citizen.  I can think anything I like.  I have the right not to think at all if I feel like it!" 

SHOW DATES: October 12-28

SHOW TIMES: Performances are Friday & Saturday at 8:00 PM and Sunday at 3:00 PM- Student Performance is October 18 at 7:00 PM.
