[flowiepanda]

if this was a sitcom, it would be so terrible. i understand the existentialism bit behind the story, but it would just be so god damn boring lol

[neilmarcusrichardson]

Very helpful, thanks very much. Seeking to compare with with Beckett's Endgame.

[bufgvsdg]

@serpenta2tete Eugen Ionescu -this is his real name ( it`s a typical romanian name and it`s` the name of his father) because guess what ? He is romanian , not french !!! It`s true that he lived for a long time in France BUT he was born in Romania and had some connections with many romanian writers like Eliade and Cioran I hope that you ll like them too If you try to read some parts of their work

[serpenta2tete]

@bufgvsdg Hey guy ! The french's literature is the richest of the world ! Eugene Ionescos was french ...

I love this book, never saw the play, but this book is one of my favorites and still applicable to contemporary societies and human behavior.

[orianahh]

this is probably one of the best introductions to a play and it's playwright I have ever encountered on the internet. If you can, please make more of these. They're entertaining and insightful.

[SpracheSpecher]

This was very informative.

This play was referenced very subtly in the movie "Zombie Strippers" with Jenna Jameson, where strippers in a strip club all slowly conform to become zombies; the zombie strippers outperform the human strippers, creating the urge for the strippers to get bitten by a zombie.

The strip club manager's name was "Mr. Ian Essko", referencing Ionesco, and one of the strippers' names was Berengé.

[GhostCops]

I am very glad to find that a few people actually found this thing helpful. If you are looking for another contribution to the Ionesco culture, I understand that the movie "Zombie Strippers" is a loose adaptation of the play. Apparently the club is call "The Rhino." I have not been brave enough to watch it for myself yet.

[lauralikes]

i love you

The theatre company at my university is doing this play in early november. Good intro you've made here!

[paleman451]

Wow, very detailed information on Rhinoceros in just 3:22!

[hellobookie8]

I keep hearing I-uh-nesco, but I'm in New York so maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyway, thanks. i just found out I got the part of Daisy today and that was a nice addition to my knowledge of the play.

[GhostCops]

Hmm well, the info came from the people I put it together for. The pronunciation came from teacher who assigned the project.

I can't really say much for the accent.

[citizenX9328g]

A friend just sent me this

For a 3:22 web video,that's pretty good going,mate and I rather like the accent,too

Interesting American/Brit fusion :-)

[mazyar]

thank you

[lawlz0r]

Its pronounced E O Nesco and you left out a whole bunch of stuff, although not terrible on the whole, however dont try doing a british accent, its shite
