Rhinoceros*
*Original production in 2003 was entitled Box
By Eugene Ionesco, Adapted by Martin Mooney in March 2003. Premiere Production OMAC, Belfast
“A more magical production you won’t see this year, pure genius”
THE SCOTSMAN 5*
A comic but touching story which uses the Rhinoceros as a metaphor to represent the change in political and social movements during the 1920’s in fascist France, highlighting the injustice of modern ethics and the hollow substance of political rhetoric and spin.
“An evening that has plenty of beastly fun, bags of mad mugging and a furious energy”
THE GUARDIAN
Climb inside a cube installation with 29 others and experience 60 minutes of exhilarating storytelling. A non-stop mix of high-octane movement, comedy, small things and animal instinct presented by four actors who play a myriad of parts inside a small box made of furniture, knick-knacks and everyday junk.
“A wonderfully imaginative show”
