You don't have to scratch too deeply below the surface of noble sentiments (justice, democracy) before the grubbier human instincts (greed, revenge) appear, Friedrich Durrenmatt suggests in this play.Yet the frequently funny drama also hints that material desires may be as lofty as any other human aim. Splitting the difference happens all the time in real life, but Durrenmatt seems to be saying it's not that easy.
