The sublime is confused with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, a staple of every theatre classroom and a high watermark of 20th century drama. A small town is besieged by one roaring citizen who becomes a rhinoceros and proceeds to trample on the social order. As more citizens are transformed into rhinoceroses, the trampling becomes overwhelming, and more and more citizens become rhinoceroses. One sane man, Berenger, remains, unable to change his form and identity.

Presented in the intimate LCT Black Box, this production will immerse you in the unique world of this absurdist masterpiece. Don't miss it!
