1) You put up a -No Exit- sign without explanation. It-s a shame because that play (aka -In Camera-, -Huis Clos-) by Sartre is my favourite play of all time!
2) Genet: Actually I-ve always thought The Maids should be played by (gay) men. That-s how I read it.
And Genet wants it to be played VERY subdued, not melodramatic (read the rather vulgar expression in his directions.
3) We did Ionesco in grade 8! Young people -get- absurd art better than -sensible- adults.

It's hard to surpass The Bald Soprano, but one of my favorite Ionesco plays is The New Tenant. It's fairly short, punchy, and just really, really funny. We also performed that one in school, and just dragging out basically all the props that had accumulated since the theater club had been established was a riot and a half. If I recall correctly, we even dragged out the racks of costumes from the back. Good times.

Gentle hint from a french speaker: when Mr Martin says -beaux-arts- it's pronounced -boh zart- because of liaison, so it would phonetically fit the rest of the words that are being said that sound similar: )

This is the first video in this series where I actually had heard of all these people thanks to Wisecrack's video on the Philosophy of Saw.
