5.0 out of 5 stars The Meteor, July 20, 2006
This is the first American publication of a new play by the famed Swiss dramatist whose The Visit has become a modern classic wherever theater is performed....

As the curtain rises, Nobel Prize-winning author Wolfgang Schwitter has been certified dead. All the ceremonial machinery to attend his state funeral has been set in motion. But the corpse, ignoring the official evidence, escapes from the clinic in his pajamas and returns to his old studio to die. The artist - "the meteor" - is more alive than the others and it is a long wait for the end. And so danse macabre unfolds, in which a bizarre assortment of archetypal characters are sacrificed at Schwitter's deathbed.
