Making my first visit to the Experimental Station tonight to see Hyde Park Community Players present Eugène Ionesco’s absurdist play Rhinoceros, which combines big laughs, big ideas, and big, big, big animals. "In a small town on an ordinary Sunday, a rhinoceros goes charging by. Hilarity ensues; but the comedy gradually turns sinister as one by one the people transform into rhinoceroses. Will the comically unheroic protagonist, Berenger, reluctantly become the last best hope for humanity? With a large cast, a multi-level shifting stage, original music by Jenne Lennon, and a full complement of romping rhinos, Rhinoceros is the HPCP’s most ambitious production to date." You can still help fuel the rhinocerotic frenzy by Adopting A Rhinoceros!
Below is a trailer for the 1974 movie version of the play:
The Experimental Station hosts a variety of artistic and cultural events throughout the year. These include theatrical performances, art exhibitions, workshops, and lectures.
