The Last Task

I have seen a filmed performance of Rhinoceros presented by The Baltimore Annex Theater (the first part of it is shown in the article It's happening now!). This adaptation was very entertaining. Compared to the written drama, it was definitely more funny and less serious, and now I am not talking about the fact that it is always more entertaining to watch the drama than to read it. What I mean is that the producer has approached the play in a different way. It seems to me that he mainly wanted to amuse the audience, rather than convey the message of futility and conformity. Which is not bad, not at all. Moreover, the actors don't always use the words exactly as they are written in the play and their communication is more present-day. In general, I have the feeling that even though the performance is strongly based on Ionesco's book, it is completely different in the interpretation. 


In this scene is extremely impressive!! The sounds, Jean's insanity and his incredible transformation into rhinoceros...The whole play is entertaining, but this scene is especially worth watching.
