The Arsonists

TelusStudio Theatre at The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts

The town is plagued by acts of arson, yet upstanding businessman and model citizen Biedermann remains unperturbed. Ever the hospitable host, he welcomes two new guests into his home. He’s so accommodating, he even helps them store drums of gasoline in his attic and offers them a light. Originally written as a reflection on the rise of both Nazism and Communism,The Arsonists is a timely political satire about the cost of complacency.
