It’s an absurdist play of the first order by a master innovator of the genre. In a house on an island, a very old couple pass their time collecting and inventorying chairs while sharing half-remembered stories. With brilliant eccentricity, Ionesco's ‘tragic farce’ combines a comic portrait of human folly with a magical experiment in theatrical possibilities.
