"A collection of plays, often classified as absurd drama, which aim to portray a world in which humanity, with its despair, fear and loneliness, is alone in a hostile and meaningless world."

"This comprehensive volume contains nine of the most important, most indispensable plays of the modern theatre. What Harold Clurman has done in this seminal collection is to create for us a portrait of the progress and turmoil of the twentieth century. Ranging from the eerie realism of Pinter's sinister "Birthday Party," to the absurd literalism of Ionesco's conformist city in "Rhinoceros," to the baroque fantasy world of Genet's brothel ..."

"Part diary, part autobiography, part self-analysis and commentary, this revealing memoir by the playwright of the Absurd is an expression of the writer's search for the wellsprings and justifications of his existence. Diary jottings mingle with searing memories of his authoritarian father, metaphysical musings with thoughts on anti-Semitism, his wartime experiences, Soviet death camps, and the sham of bourgeois "revolutionaries". There ..."
"In Rhinoceros, as in his earlier plays, Ionesco startles audiences with a world that invariably erupts in explosive laughter and nightmare anxiety. A rhinoceros suddenly appears in a small town, tramping through its peaceful streets. Soon there are two, then three, until the movement” is universal: a transformation of average citizens into beasts, as they learn to move with the times. Finally, only one man remains. I’m the last man le ..."
"The author of such modern classics as The Bald Soprano, Exit the King, Rhinoceros, and The Chairs, Eugene Ionesco is "one of the most important and influential figures in the modern theater" (Library Journal). This crucial collection combines The New Tenant with Amedee and Victims of Duty--the plays Richard Gilman has called, along with The Killer, Ionesco's "greatest plays, works of the same solidity, fulness, and permanence as [those ..."
"Qu'importe que la cantatrice soit chauve puisqu'elle n'existe pas ! Dans cette petite "anti-pièce", première oeuvre dramatique de Ionesco, il n'est fait référence que deux fois à la cantatrice chauve, personnage dont on ne sait rien et qui n'apparaît jamais. Il s'agit bien là d'un Nouveau Théâtre, celui qui donne naissance à des pièces sans héros, sans sacro-sainte division en actes, sans action, sans intrigue, avec en guise de dénoueme ..."

""Tous les chats sont mortels. Socrate est mortel. Donc Socrate est un chat." Tout langage stéréotypé devient aberrant. C'est ce que Ionesco démontre dans Rhinocéros, pièce qui a tout d'abord vu le jour sous la forme d'une nouvelle. Partisan d'un théâtre total, il porte l'absurde à son paroxysme en l'incarnant matériellement. Allégorie des idéologies de masse, le rhinocéros, cruel et dévastateur, ne se déplace qu'en groupe et gagne du te ..."
