Summary: Utter perfection of absurdism
Comment: In The Bald Soprano, Ionesco captures the true essence of the Theatre of the Absurd, while also offering significant political and social commentary. This is all not without the presence of humour. The Lesson contains Ionesco's traditional absurdist touch, but is indeed more grave and at times, disturbing. The focus is on the teacher-student relationship, but not without further political and social commentary. These two plays are essential for an understanding of Ionesco and his dramatic techniques, and, of course, they are both brilliant works of modern drama.

Rating: 4
Summary: One of the Masters of Drama
Comment: Though Beckett is usually given the title of THE master of the Theater of the Absurd, in many respects, Ionesco's Bald Soprano encompasses all the revelant themes of the genre. Ionesco, through his black humor, psychological insight, use of language, and pragmatic critic of metaphysics, stands as one of the foremost playwrights of the past century. Recommended.

Rating: 5
Summary: HILARIOUS
Comment: I just finished being in a production of The Bald Soprano as Mrs. Martin. The best show I've ever been in. This script is amazing - every rehearsal the cast would be laughing until we all had tears in our eyes at the humor we found in this "anti-play". Absolutely brilliant - do yourself a favor and pick up this book.
