Max frisch bibliography
The original text came from a prose sketch Frisch had written in his diary titled Der andorranische Jude (The Andorran Jew). The Andorra in Frisch's play is fictional and not intended to be a representation of the real Andorra located between France and Spain.
Frisch has stated that the title Andorra had only been intended as a working title but later liked using the term "Andorrans" so much he kept it.
In Germany, Andorra remains one of the best known of Frisch's plays.
Plot
Andri is a young man who has been raised by the Teacher (der Lehrer) and the Mother (die Mutter) as their Jewish adopted son alongside their daughter Barblin; the Teacher claims to have rescued Andri from the anti-Semitic Blacks (die Schwarzen) in the neighbouring country.
Apart from Andri and Barblin, the other characters are referred to by their occupations or roles (though most do have names).
