A.R.T.’s Rhinoceros Roars with Giamatti and Turturro, On Conformity
TL;DR
A searing Cambridge staging of Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, directed by Diane Paulus, pairs John Turturro and Paul Giamatti in a tight, intimate battle over conformity and humanity as a rhinoceros transformation unfolds on stage; supported by standout performances (notably Tatiana Maslany) and inventive sound design, the production underscores how contemporary politics can feel disturbingly relevant. Runs through Sept. 27, 2026.
