More than 50 years since its UK premiere , Eugene Ionesco's dark comic-drama still packs one hell of a punch. The French playwright's radical views on education, life and death are laced through this funny, disturbing and gripping look at the tyrannical nature of power, the dangers of enforced education and how words can be used as weapons. With broad comedy jutting up against scenes of horror, THE LESSON is a theatrical experience you will never forget.Producer Benjamin Alborough. Producer Cas Hodges (for the Hope Theatre). Translation Donald Watson. Translation Donald Watson. Director Matthew Parker.
