"The Chairs deserve to be filled at Shakespeare & Company... Pure delight." -Berkshire Edge
An absurdist play of the first order by a master innovator of the genre.

With brilliant eccentricity, Ionesco's 'tragic farce' combines a comic portrait of human folly with a magical experiment in theatrical possibilities.
