Review: Vermont Stage’s "Rhinoceros" Explores Conformity and Anger

Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco, directed by Cristina Alicea for Vermont Stage, is a relevant play about the dangers of conformity and anger in times of change. Originally written as part of the “Theatre of the Absurd” movement in 1959, the play follows Berenger, a kind-hearted drunk who works at a local newspaper, as he navigates his life during an outbreak of people turning into Rhinoceros. The production opened at Main Street Landing on April 30th and runs until May 17th.
