COME AND SEE OUR PRODUCTION OF RHINOCEROS!
Individuality, logic and morality threatened by conformity and mob rule, with songs!
Do you know anyone who suffers from rhinoceritis? In Ionesco's play, written in 1959, the inhabitants of a small, provincial French town turn into rhinoceroses. Looking back on his own experience, Ionesco writes:
'University professors, students, intellectuals were turning Nazi, becoming Iron Guards one after another. ... From time to time, one of the group would come out and say 'I don't agree at all with them, to be sure, but on certain points, I must admit, for example the Jews ...' Three weeks later, that person would become a Nazi. He was caught in a mechanism, he accepted everything, he became a Rhinoceros.'
Sacré Théâtre feels the time is ripe to update both Ionesco's original script and their own previous production (2008). This version is, appropriately, given a contemporay setting. As with all recent productions, it will feature original live music and chorus work.
Dates Wednesday 11 March (3.00 pm matinee), Thursday 12 March 7.30 pm, Friday 13 March 7.30 pm, and Saturday 14 March 7.30 pm
