EXIT THE KING Comes To EXIT Theatre, 3/16
by A.A. Cristi
- Feb 21, 2018
King Berenger clings to life like he clung to his scepter, but one-by-one his faculties, staff, and two wives are taken from him until he has no choice but to die, as we all must, alone. But will he die at peace? Ionesco's Exit the King is an absurdist but compassionate exploration of acceptance as the ultimate act of grace. This vibrant new production, directed by EXIT Theatre artist-in-residence Stuart Bousel, shows us how to look Death in the eye, laugh in Death's face, and go quietly into the long night whether we've lived gracefully or not.
