THE LESSON
By Eugene Ionesco
In a translation by David Watson
Thought-provoking yet funny, charming yet sinister, familiar yet bizarre.
The Lesson is a fresh, bright and brilliant play by one of the foremost absurdist writers of all time. Ionesco’s writing changed the face of 20th century theatre and has inspired and excited generations of theatre-lovers.
The Lesson is given by an ageing professor to his new, young, female student. She arrives as a keen and confident foil to his intense yet faltering manner, but the balance shifts throughout their exchange until their meeting takes a truly unexpected turn…
