Rhinoceros
Royal Court Theatre (Downstairs), London from 21st September to 15th December
2007
When a rhinoceros charges across the town square one Sunday
afternoon, Berenger thinks nothing of it. Soon, however, rhinoceroses are
popping up everywhere and Berenger's whole world is under threat. What will
it take for him to stand up to the increasing menace of rhinocerisation?
Ionesco's iconic satire on mindlessness and conformity
is given its first major UK revival since its Royal Court premiere in 1960,
which was directed by Orson Welles starring Laurence
Olivier.

"Eugène Ionesco's classic fantasy Rhinoceros (1959) proves
a rich, shifting allegory in Dominic Cooke's fast-paced revival" Kate Bassett, The
Independent
"Ionesco’s dark satire on conformity and fascism is given a
surprisingly and attractively light touch in Dominic Cooke’s staging
of this new version by Martin Crimp" Gerald Berkowitz, The
Stage
