What would you do if you realize that slowly, one by one, day by day, your neighbours, your colleagues, your loved ones and everyone around you start turning into rhinoceroses? And everyone now works for Rhinoceroses!
A seemingly normal town starts to fall apart at the seams as rhinoceroses start appearing and run amok everywhere. Friendships, families and even colleagues are all torn asunder at their sudden appearance.
Filled with characters as strange and fun as the Logician and the Old Gentleman with a skewed love affair thrown in for good measure, Rhinoceros by French - Romanian playwright Eugene Ionesco is an absurdist play written in 1959 about the illogical realities of modern communal life. This intriguing play was written as a response to the totalitarian regimes of Nazism, Fascism and Communism, providing an incisive commentary on group behaviour, peer pressure and the price we pay to belong: the power of membership.
