Theatre

• Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco, February 22-23, 26-March 1, This most famous of all “absurdist” plays tells the story of a French town wherein the citizens, one by one, are changed into rhinoceroses. Berenger, an average citizen, first tries to ignore it, then dismisses it as unimportant- but when he ends up the only human being left, and he concludes he will have to fight the rhinos. A strange, darkly comic tale of the herd instinct that turns ordinary human beings into unthinking, beady-eyed, thickskinned, blindly-follow-the-leader animals- and our responsibility to oppose them.
