"People who try to hang on to their individuality always come to a bad end..."
Nearly 60 years since its premiere, the darkly comedic and terrifying RHINOCEROS is making its Yiddish language debut with a translation by Eli Rosen.
Called “an allegory for our times” by The New York Times, Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros is one of the main influences of Theatre of the Absurd. The sublime is merged with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, in which an individual citizen of a small town watches his friends turn into rhinoceroses one by one until he alone stands unchanged.
