“English master, David Campbell, had initiated contact with James Gillespie\u2019s girls school and with them we did The Physicists by Friedrich Durrenmatt. Again, this was a courageous choice of an avant-garde play that didn\u2019t, shall we say, wear its meaning on its face. I played Einstein.” Brean Hammond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You mentioned a play featuring a Swiss Sanatorium, a hunchback and a murder which would be Friedrich D\u00fcrrenmatt’s ‘The Physicists’ which was first performed in Zurich in 1962. The person in charge of the Sanatorium was the hunchbacked psychiatrist Fr\u00e4ulein Dr. Mathilde von Zahnd.” Alex Prentice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first set of photos are from this production of “The Physicists performed16th June 1968.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cast included Alastair McIntosh, Brean Hammond, Paul Jackson, Robin Forrester-Paton, Brian Dunnigan, Neil Seager, Peter Hammond, Heather McCallum and Kerry Chalmers.<\/p>\n\n\n
