Reviews

[Ali Managhebi]

The book I read was collocation of five short plays translated to Persian by Ahmad KamyabiMask. These plays were Ionescos first short plays. Understanding these plays was not difficult but finding a meaning out of these absurd plays was hard.

If you're going to read a play ... read this one.

[Paul Dinger]

A great play about how things become popular and everyone wants to join and then they steamroll others into joining. It is like a herd and who can resist? This is a great play.

actually it's only "Rhinocerous", but they don't have that version posted i guess.
