This is one of the best-known plays written by Max Frisch (1911-1991), the novelist and playwright who was one of the two most significant, versatile and prolific post-World War II Swiss writers - the other being Friedrich Dürrenmatt.
Although the play has been staged publicly at theatres in New York and London, it is far better known in the German-speaking world, where it is quite popular with theatre-ooers. In the English-speaking world, it is now usually staged mainly at universities and other educational institutions where the book is often required reading for students of German literature. However, its central theme deals with a subject that concerns and affects us all at all times: blind prejudice.
In Andorra (not to be confused with the country which bears the same name: the Principality of Andorra) the prejudice is anti-Semitism. It results in the murder of a young man who was adopted as a Jew, though he is not one really. He is taken to be one and killed by neighbouring anti-Jewish attacking forces. The townfolk stand by and do nothing, evincing their own bigotry and anti-Semitism. We all know what happened in Nazi Germany. Indeed, anti-Semitism here stands for prejudice of any kind.
I think this book (play) is as relevant today as it was when Frisch wrote it, even more so now when one sees what is going on around the world. Prejudices of all sorts continue to plague us everywhere. Frisch seems to be asking us whether man ever learns from past experiences!
