BOOK REVIEW!⁠
[Rhinoceros] Berenger’s co-workers and neighbors turn into rhinos.⁠
//⁠
WHAT I LIKED⁠
If everyone was becoming a rhino, would you join in? Think about it. Rhinos don’t have to worry about being run over by other rhinos. They don’t have to go to work. They can knock down stairs. Are rhinos cowardly conformist, or are the remaining humans racist?⁠
//⁠
I loved the utter ridiculousness of Rhinoceros. I enjoyed watching through the eyes of Berenger, a somewhat boring human being. Are Berenger’s beliefs right or wrong?⁠
//⁠
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE⁠
There is a section at the beginning in which the dialogue crossed between different parties across the stage. It was a bit difficult to follow, but easily forgiven seen as the performance would make sense.⁠
