A translated adaptation of Eugène Ionesco RHINOCEROS is coming to the Almeida Theatre for a limited run in spring 2025!
Who knows what is good and what is evil? You’re only concerned with yourself. That’s the truth. But you’ll never really become a rhinoceros… you haven’t got the chops!
Returning to the Almeida following his ★★★★★ (The Telegraph) production of The Chairs, Omar Elerian directs and translates Eugène Ionesco’s absurdist satire about resisting conformity and holding onto what’s left of our humanity as we resist the rumbling power of the herd.

A provincial town in France.
Jean meets his friend Berenger for a drink, but things take an unexpected turn when a rhinoceros charges through the town square. After all, there are no rhinoceroses in France, right?
Suddenly, one by one the townspeople are transforming into the thing they first feared. An epidemic has taken hold and rhinoceritis is spreading like wildfire, until there are almost no human beings left.
