Summary/Abstract: Politics was more than once dealt with in the works of the Swiss playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt, as well as in his theatrical practice as a director. Two of the most interesting examples in this respect are Dürrenmatt’s last play, Achterloo (1983), and his staging of G. E. Lessing’s Emilia Galotti (Zürich, 1974). While the first one is a complex and encrypted politics collage, the second one reveals itself on the stage as a critique of a political system that surpasses the boundaries of time and becomes relevant also nowadays.
