Rhinoceros

By Eugene Ionesco

Translated by Derek Prouse

The sublime is confused with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, a staple of 20th century drama. A small town is besieged by one roaring citizen who becomes a rhinoceros and proceeds to trample on the social order. As more citizens are transformed into rhinoceroses, the trampling becomes overwhelming and more and more citizens become rhinoceroses. Only one sane man, Berenger, remains, unable to change his form and identity.

Come From Away

Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
