ART's Rhinoceros Blends Dark Humor with a Modern Warning

Diane Paulus’s spare, electrifying Rhinoceros at the American Repertory Theater fuses Ionesco’s dark satire with a bone-chilling warning about conformity in today’s world, anchored by John Turturro’s Berenger and Paul Giamatti’s chilling transformation, with Tatiana Maslany’s Daisy adding wit. Riccardo Hernández’s stark set and Fitz Patton’s intense sound design intensify the second act, turning the play into a piercing meditation on how close we are to becoming rhinoceroses in real life.

Premiered at Sundance and currently seeking U.S. distribution; Grade: A.
