The Bald Soprano
When French playwright Eugene Ionesco was trying to learn English, he stumbled over the language鈥檚 many absurdities. (You try to explain 鈥淚t鈥檚 raining cats and dogs!鈥 to an English language learner.)
The experience inspired his absurd play, 鈥La Cantatrice Chauve,鈥 or, 鈥淭he Bald Soprano.鈥 It鈥檚 a classic comedy of the absurd order.
