A review by dkrane
The Bald Soprano and Other Plays by Eugène Ionesco, Donald M. Allen
4.0
Bald soprano 4/5
The lesson 5/5
Jack, or the Submission 2/5
The Chairs (3.5/5, because I can)
Interesting stuff about the futility of language, the pressure (and emptiness) of conformity. The lesson is my fave by far because it goes beyond its absurdists trappings to tackle misogyny in the 1950s. It's a lot to read all at once, but certainly a different idea of what theater can do.
