Director Guillermo Cienfuegos expertly guides his talented RHINOCEROS cast with tight, sturdy reins in a truly full-length play (three acts, spanning close to three hours) now at the Pacific Resident Theatre. Eugene Ionesco originally wrote RHINOCEROS in 1959 as his commentary on the state of the political atmosphere then. So, ironically funny (and sad) that various lines of dialogue throughout Ionesco's comedy resonate in its timely relevance today.

In astrology, the Grand Irrationality is when the planets are all out of alignment and nothing adds up - a pretty fair description of Guy Proud's life in Jemma Kennedy's World Premiere comedy THE GRAND IRRATIONALITY at the Lost Studio.
