An Absurdist Comedy by Eugène Ionesco
Translated by Helen Gary Bishop
Directed by Conrad Alexandrowicz
Step into the darkly satirical world of Eugène Ionesco’s The Killing Game. Despite its grim title, this absurdist comedy finds humour in chaos as a town spirals out of control during a mysterious plague outbreak. As body counts rise, the community becomes a chaotic mix of paranoia, hypocrisy, and opportunism. Through sharp wit and biting satire, Ionesco transforms fear and hysteria into laugh-out-loud moments, exposing the absurdities of human behaviour in crisis.
