The Chairs
by Eugene Ionesco
translated by Martin Crimp
directed by Martin Platt
November 8 - December 9, 2001
In this very funny but tragic farce, an elderly couple amuse themselves and justify their lives' lost potential by creating fictional stories. An Old man imagines he has a great message that will save the world, and that multitudes are coming to hear it. As these guests arrive, his wife brings in a crowd of chairs to accommodate them. The line between fantasy and hallucination is blurred as the couple's game becomes their reality, leading to a shocking and ironic climax. |
