16 reviews for Rhinoceros, The Chairs, The Lesson

  1. Sahil Hanfi

    Challenging and bizarre! ‘The Lesson’ was particularly unsettling. Not an easy read, but I appreciate the exploration of societal breakdown.

  2. Utkarsh Jaiswal

    Found this collection really bizarre. The writing style was hard to follow at times and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought.

  3. Aditya Chhaganbhai Boricha

    This was my first exposure to Ionesco. I found it interesting, but a little strange and difficult to fully grasp the concepts presented.

  4. Mayank

    A truly unique experience. Ionesco’s work is unlike anything I’ve ever read. Some parts are a bit slow, but the overall impact is powerful.

  5. Shivang Kumar

    These works are fantastic pieces of art that really touch the soul. I suggest this to anyone trying to pick up absurdist pieces.

  6. Deeplina Sabat

    Excellent plays that provoke thought. I especially enjoyed ‘The Chairs’. Ionesco’s themes are very relevant even today.

  7. Ashu Yadav

    The stories in this were really a great piece, but were not for me. I wish I understood some of the contexts more clearly!

  8. Vishal Agarwal

    Enjoyable to read and appreciate the concepts of the text. Was not completely blown away by this read, would recommend it to theatre majors.

  9. Aslam M U

    ‘Rhinoceros’ is a masterpiece! The other plays were good, but didn’t quite reach the same level. Still, a worthwhile collection.

  10. Ashutosh Shankar

    I struggled with the abstract nature of these plays. The introductions were helpful, but I still found it hard to connect with the characters.

  11. Prakhar Jyoti

    Interesting read that was a bit dry at times. Ionesco writes well but at times it can be boring to get through, however stick it out!

  12. Ishika Sharma

    Ionesco’s absurdity is definitely on display here. ‘Rhinoceros’ was powerful, but ‘The Chairs’ felt a bit long. Still, a thought-provoking read overall.

  13. Vaishnavi

    Ionesco’s genius shines through! This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in absurdist theatre. Loved the introductions too.

  14. Rajat Sharan Sethi

    The themes explored were very heavy and dark. Although well-written, I found the subject matter unsettling and it impacted my enjoyment.

  15. Priyanshu Singh

    Ionesco is a genius! His plays are so original and impactful. An absolute must-read for theater lovers; a really fascinating read.

  16. Gitish Batra

    A great read and truly enjoy Ionesco’s work. This piece was a great collection, I am always looking to collect more!
