Signature Theatre
3806 Four Mile Run Drive, Arlington, VA
based on the play Der Besuch der alten Dame (The Visit) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Claire was driven from her hometown in disgrace when she was 17, betrayed by her lover. Many years (and seven husbands) later, she returns (beautifully dressed, but with a wooden leg) to her now-impoverished stomping grounds and offers to save the town. The price? Nothing less than the life of Schell.

Review: GLIDE TIME by Roger Hall
by Glenda Pearce - Sep 29, 2026

Deftly and perceptively directed by Vikki Cunningham, and set firmly in 1976, Hall’s comic genius is still sharp, shrewd and strangely current: a deliciously awkward satire of office life that remains funny, familiar and uncomfortably true.
