This play by Eugène Ionescot breaks all the rules! Quiet London suburbanites Mr. and Mrs. Smith, invite the younger Mr. and Mrs. Martin over for a cheerful dinner. Plans for a sedate evening soon give way to hilarious chaos as polite conversation turns to confusion and the two couples engage in an escalating battle of banalities and linguistic acrobatics. Known all over the world as one of the quintessential absurdist masterpieces, this hilarious play is the perfect follow up to last season’s hit production of Ionesco’s Victims of Duty, which garnered a Bay Area Critics Circle award for Best Production.
