Questions of justice and guilt are central themes in "Die Panne," a comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The story follows Alfredo Traps, who interrupts his journey due to a car breakdown and finds shelter with a retired judge. He spends the evening with his host and three other retired professionals: a judge, a prosecutor, a defense attorney, and a hangman. As dinner turns into a marathon banquet, the retirees propose that Traps take part as the accused in their reenactment of famous trials. Though convinced of his own innocence, Traps comes under increasing pressure from their intense questioning. At the end of the evening, a death sentence is pronounced.
The story, published in 1956 and originally conceived as a radio play, was later released as a novella, adapted into film, and staged as a play.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921-1990) is among the most important writers and dramatists of the 20th century and was also a painter. His artwork is displayed in a permanent exhibition in his hometown of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
With the troupe: Timo Wagner, Jean-Paul Maes, Neven Nötig, Nickel Bösenberg, Marc Baum, Mady Durrer.
