The Strong Are Lonely (original title in German Das heilige Experiment (1942-3)) is a play by Austrian playwright Fritz Hochwaelder [1] (1911-1986), who wrote social and political dramas, using historical themes in his plays. The Strong Are Lonely drew on the violent dismantling of a utopian Jesuit settlement by the Spaniards in Paraguay in the 1760s.
