RHINOCEROS by Eugene Ionesco

 

Without warning, a rhinoceros charges into a quiet Parisian town – what does the presence of this savage, irrational beast mean? And where did it come from?  Just when the rubble is swept away, another rhinoceros charges – followed by another and another – the wild rhinos rampage the town, chaos ensues as the citizens run berserk transforming into more rhinos to join the outrageous herd – the rhinos crush the world as we know it leaving nothing but comic absurdity in their wake – in the end, one man and one woman are left alone - or are they?
