A Kean University Theatre Department production 

By Eugène Ionesco

Translated by Tina Howe

Directed by E. Teresa Choate 

Has day-to-day life begun to feel like some surreal hallucination? Have you ever looked into the eyes of someone you love and discovered you don’t know them? Or been in the midst of a conversation and realized that the words sound like gibberish? Perhaps you’ve looked at the time and thought, “That can’t be right!” Does reality itself seem to be fraying at the edges? If so, you’re in good company! Come join the Smiths and the Martins as they try to make sense of life and each other, with the help of the Mary the Maid and the Fire Captain, in Eugène Ionesco’s Absurd comic masterpiece, The Bald Soprano.
