Synopsis

Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermanns' home. Until a stranger appears at the front door.What follows is an exhilarating, hilarious, razor-sharp satire of respectability, self-deception, and the remarkable human capacity to ignore the obvious. Everyone sees it coming—but no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus...Written in the aftermath of World War II and echoing uncannily into our present, The Arsonists is an absurdly funny and quietly chilling modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good.
