Synopsis
Fires are becoming something of a problem.
A respected member of the community with a loving wife and a flourishing business; surely nothing can get to him. The great philanthrope, he is happy to meet his civic duty and give shelter to two new houseguests, and when they start filling the attic with petrol drums, he’ll help them wire the fuse.
Frisch’s parable shows us the dangers of accommodating the very thing that can destroy you.
