Durnford House (HJRM) house play

The Physicists is a satiric drama/tragic comedy written in 1961 by Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The play was mainly written as a result of the Second World War and many advances in science and nuclear technology. The play deals with questions of scientific ethics and humanity’s general ability to manage its intellectual responsibility.

The boys of Durnford House gave a very entertaining performance of the play at the House in a very intimate setting in front of parents and friends of the House. I thoroughly enjoyed it, a very credible and admirable show by everyone involved.
