"With outrageous comedy" this classic of Absurdist drama "attacks the most serious subjects: blind conformity and totalitarianism, despair and death" ( The New York Times).

A rhinoceros suddenly appears in a small town, tramping through its peaceful streets. Soon there are two, then three, until the "movement" is universal. This is not an invasion of wild animals, but a transformation of average citizens into beasts, as they learn to move with the times. As the curtain comes down, only one desperate man remains.

It shows us the struggle of the individual to maintain integrity and identity in a world where all others have succumbed to the "beauty" of brute force and mindlessness.
