By Friedrich Durrenmatt, translated by James Kirkup from a radio version by Hans Hausmann
with Patrick Magee, Alan Dobie and Christopher Benjamin.
'An old Japanese proverb says "If a nail sticks up, it will be hammered down." That is the remorseless moral of this funny and frightening play - a drama about the death of the individual in a remorselessly scientific and anti-individualist society. Ours is increasingly a mindless civilisation in which few, if any, can resist the terrible pressures to conform imposed by the State, by the mass media, by wholesale advertising's brainwashing, by sexual stereotyping and by the computer's general debasement of the human intelligence.'- JAMES KIRKUP'S notes on the play.
