«Die Physiker» is the two-act comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Diogenes Verlag AG in hardcover (93 pages, in German).
«Die Physiker» raises the ethical dilemma of science facing power: in a mental sanatorium, three physicists who feign delusions of grandeur meet. Möbius, author of a fearsome formula, pretends madness and the visit of King Solomon so that his discovery does not fall into the wrong hands, but the farce complicates when other interested forces come into play.
Work originally published in 1962 and included in Dürrenmatt's Werkausgabe in dreissig Bänden, volume 7.
Common reading in German literature and theatre courses, and a classic of 20th-century Swiss drama.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt was a Swiss author and dramatist. He was a proponent of epic theatre whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author's work included avant-garde dramas, philosophical crime novels, and macabre satire. Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten, a group of left-wing Swiss writers who convened regularly at a restaurant in the city of Olten.
