Rhinoceros

Everything seems normal one Sunday morning…until it’s not. One by one, friends and colleagues transform into rhinoceroses, and Berenger is forced to decide: will he follow the crowd or stand his ground? As resonant as when it premiered in the wake of the Second World War, Rhinoceros reminds us of the importance of holding on to our humanity amidst mounting pressures to conform.

This new adaptation by A.R.T. based on Derek Prouse’s seminal translation of Eugène Ionesco’s landmark play is staged by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus, directing her final production at the Loeb Drama Center before the A.R.T.’s move to its new home in Allston, the Goel Center for Creativity & Performance.

It stars John Turturro, Paul Giamatti, and Tatiana Maslany.
