The question of justice and guilt are central themes in Friedrich Dürrenmatt's comedy "Die Panne". The story tells of Alfredo Traps, who must interrupt his trip due to a car breakdown. He finds shelter with a retired judge and spends the evening with him and his former colleagues: a judge, a prosecutor, a defense lawyer and an executioner, all retired. They tell Traps that they spend their time replaying famous trials and are missing a defendant for the evening. Traps agrees to play the role and, convinced of his own innocence, becomes increasingly cornered by the elders' cunning game. In the end, a death sentence is pronounced.
This story, published in 1956, was originally conceived as a radio play, later published as a novella, adapted into a film and for the stage. Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921-1990), one of the most important 20th-century writers and dramatists, was also a painter. His visual work is on permanent display in Neuchâtel, his hometown in Switzerland.
