Performed by our high school Ensemble Company, Eugène Ionesco's 1959 play evokes a startling world of both hilarity and anxiety. When rhinoceroses suddenly appear on the peaceful streets of a small village, the townspeople are horrified - until they themselves begin to turn into the clumsy, unthinking animals. Only one man, Berenger, resists, and must decide if he should try to stop the brutal transformations. Written by one of the fathers of the Theatre of the Absurd, Rhinoceros combines nonsense and fantasy into an unsettling examination of maintaining individuality in a world of conformity.
