This Absurdist masterpiece by the author of Rhinoceros “is explosively, liberatingly funny...a loony parody with a climax which is an orgy of non-sequiturs” (The Observer). Written in 1950, Eugene Ionesco’s first play, The Bald Soprano, was a seminal work of Absurdist theatre. Today, it is celebrated around the world as a modern classic for its imagination and sui generis theatricality. A hilarious parody of English manners and a striking statement on the alienation of modern life, it was inspired by the strange dialogues Ionesco encountered in foreign language phrase books. Ionesco went on to become an internationally renowned master of modern drama, famous for the comic proportions and bizarre effects that allow his work to be simultaneously hilarious, tragic, and profound. As Ionesco has said, “Theater is not literature. . . . It is simply what cannot be expressed by any other means.”

Often called the father of the Theater of the Absurd, Eugène Ionesco wrote groundbreaking plays that are simultaneously hilarious, tragic, and profound. Now his classic one acts The Bald Soprano and The Lesson are available in an exciting new translation by Pulitzer Prize-finalist Tina Howe, noted heir of Ionesco's absurdist vision, acclaimed by Frank Rich as "one of the smartest playwrights we have." In The Bald Soprano Ionesco throws together a cast of characters including the quintessential British middle-class family the Smiths, their guests the Martins, their maid Mary, and a fire chief determined to extinguish all fires -- including their hearths. It's an archetypical absurdist tale and Ionesco displays his profound take on the problems inherent in modern communication. The Lesson illustrates Ionesco's comic genius, where insanity and farce collide as a professor becomes increasingly frustrated with his hapless student, and the student with his mad teacher.

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Bald Soprano with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Bald Soprano by Eugène Ionesco, a short play which makes us truly think about language and how we use it. The play focuses on two couples, the Smiths and the Martins, who are at the Smiths’ house for dinner. Through his skilful manipulation of language, with techniques including repetition, tautologies and wordplay, Ionesco makes it painfully obvious how little language actually means. It is therefore hardly surprising that the play was not received well when it premiered in Paris in 1950, and was only fully appreciated many years after Ionesco first wrote it. Eugène Ionesco was a Romanian-French playwright, who is widely known as one of the foremost figures of French avant-garde theatre. He died in Paris in 1994.
