One of my favorite plays of all time is "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare.

This tragic love story has captivated audiences for centuries with its beautiful language, complex characters, and heart-wrenching plot.

The young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, come from feuding families but are unable to resist their passion for each other.

Despite the many obstacles in their way, they continue to pursue their love, ultimately leading to a tragic end.

The play explores themes of love, hate, fate, and loyalty, making it a timeless classic that still resonates with audiences today.

Whether you're a fan of Shakespeare or just love a good love story, "Romeo and Juliet" is a play that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

I have legs.

I truly relished this opportunity to take a step back in time.

I only re-read The Chairs in its entirety, while for the other two plays, I merely dipped into them.

However, I must admit that this kind of material becomes even more captivating when it is staged.

The energy and vitality that the actors bring to the characters and the story can transform the entire experience.

It allows the audience to engage with the play on a deeper level, to feel the emotions and understand the themes more fully.

Staging these plays gives them a new life, breathing fresh air into the words and making them come alive in a way that reading alone cannot achieve.

It is a magical process that combines the art of acting, directing, and set design to create a memorable and impactful theatrical event.

I haven't had the opportunity to read The Chairs and The Lesson. Here, I am going to review Rhinoceros.

Rhinoceros presents the concept of the uprising of Nazism and Fascism, as well as the inner savagery of man. The "epidemic" of rhinoceroses serves as a convenient allegory for the mass uprising of Nazism and Fascism before and during World War II. Ionesco's main purpose in writing Rhinoceros is not merely to criticize the horrors of the Nazis but to explore the mindset of those who easily yielded to Nazism.

The rhinoceroses are a blatant symbol of man's inherent savage nature. However, to Ionesco's credit, the expression of this idea unfolds gradually throughout the play. The first rhino causes no obvious damage; the second one tramples a cat; later ones destroy more property, and Jean, who has become a rhino, attacks Berenger. They represent both fascist tyranny and the absurdity of a universe that could produce such transformations.

Ionesco equates the epidemic of these transformations with the ways in which the ideals of Nazism can infect the unconscious minds of individuals. Yet, by the end of the play, the rhinos become more beautiful and the humans more ugly. They are beautiful because of their brute strength and power. True beauty, as Berenger shows when he finally decides to fight the rhinos and save humanity, lies in moral strength.
