Well, "old" is in the title of the original play, but it's not clear that Claire is dying of old age. The text in Duerenmatt says it was "50 years ago" that Claire, as a teen, got pregnant by Alfred and was run out of town, so she is approaching 70. I'm not sure that in the Valency adaptation a precise number of years is given since Claire left town, but in the stage directions she is described as being in her 50s.
