Rhinoceros

 

Written by Eugène Ionesco

Directed by Bruce McLeod

Translated by Derek Prouse

What happens when everyone you know turns into a rhinoceros? In Eugene Ionesco’s razor-sharp absurdist comedy Rhinoceros, a sleepy town is suddenly overrun—literally—by a stampede of conformity. As neighbors, coworkers, and friends transform into horned beasts, one person must decide whether to follow the herd or stand alone. Equal parts hilarious and haunting, Rhinoceros is a wildly imaginative exploration of identity, peer pressure, and the power of one voice in a crowd of chaos. Dare to resist. Or join the stampede.
