gruffdog theatre presents Rhinoceros by Eugène Ionesco

​(Wednesday 18th - Saturday 21st May)
​
​“Sometimes, one does harm without meaning to, or rather allows it to go unchecked”

One day, a rhinoceros stampedes through a French provincial town and crushes a woman’s cat. Initial outrage turns to lenience as anger turns to empathy and over the course of three acts, the townspeople unknowingly metamorphose into everything they once feared, until only one person is left in a town stricken with ‘rhinoceritis’.

Ionesco’s absurdist analysis of political extremism, mob-mentality and conformism continues to be fiercely relevant. The team who brought you Julius Caesar in MT15 presents a startling tale with puppets, music and ensemble movement.


​*"Playing to a sold-out audience, GRUFFDOG THEATRE created an electric show full of colour, action and laughter, employing everything from puppetry and live music to tunnels underneath the stage, with dance, masks and paint in between."*

*"There aren’t many plays that leave you speechless as the actors take their final bow: still less that fully deserve a standing ovation. Rhinoceros is undoubtedly one of them."*
