Even if it means going to the theatre, you might as well go to a classic, never-before-read.
This rhino did not disappoint me.
We are amid the theme of the absurd. Here, the beings trade their existence to become rhinoceros, animals undoubtedly sympathetic but ugly.
Yet, those who make the transition find advantages in this mutation. Everyone goes there: the convinced, the skeptics, the weak, the strong, the lovers.
The link with the rise of Nazism is easy to make: How to follow an aberrant doctrine against all rational thought. Ionesco very well renders the mass effect.
Bérenger's last tirade pushes the absurdity of the situation to its height!
It is dense, original, and effortless to read work.

Thank you Luis for this review which brings back a lot of memories from this play. I have read it years and years ago and I have a vivid recollection at the start of the of these guys having a quiet chat around a drink at the outside tables of a cafe in a village square, and then: "Oh! Un rhinoceros!" And the absurd then starts, non stop till the end. Brilliant play.
