EUGENE IONESCO (Nov 26, 1909, Slatina, Romania - March 28, 1994, Paris, France) is an internationally renowned playwright and absurd-ist master. His work profoundly altered the face of modern drama. He wrote more than twenty plays, as well as stories, memoirs, theoretical essays and a novel. Ionesco’s � rst one-act “antiplay,” The Bald Soprano (1950), inspired a revolution in dramatic techniques and helped inau-gurate the “Theatre of the Absurd.” He followed it with other one-act plays including The Lesson (1951), The Chairs (1952), and The New Tenant (1955), in which illogical events create an atmosphere both comic and grotesque, and dialogue breaks down into random, cliched and mean-ingless exchanges revealing language as ultimately inadequate to ex-press the truth of human experience. His most popular full-length play, Rhinoceros (1959), concerns a provincial French town in which all the citizens are metamorphosing into rhinoceroses. Other plays include Exit the King (1962) and A Stroll in the Air (1963).
