The Bald Soprano and the Lesson - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

<div>Often called the father of the Theater of the Absurd, Eug&#232;ne Ionesco wrote groundbreaking plays that are simultaneously hilarious, tragic, and profound. Now his classic one acts <i>The Bald Soprano</i> and <i>The Lesson</i> are available in an exciting new translation by Pulitzer Prize-finalist Tina Howe, noted heir of Ionesco&#8217;s absurdist vision, acclaimed by Frank Rich as &#147;one of the smartest playwrights we have.&#8221; In <i>The Bald Soprano</i> 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 &#151; including their hearths. It&#8217;s an archetypical absurdist tale and Ionesco displays his profound take on the problems inherent in modern communication. <i>The Lesson</i> illustrates Ionesco&#8217;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.</div>
