Killing Game by Eugene Ionesco


  • A Red Orchid Theater 1531 North Wells Street Chicago, IL, 60611 United States (map)

A town is beset by plague and the bodies are piling up along with moral accusations, political implications and medical speculations.  We peer into households and down many streets as people search for any logic to the ceaseless barrage of death.  One of Ionesco’s last plays, Killing Game is a piercing and frighteningly funny look at how the function of language and the panic surrounding social crisis sends a community into a chaotic state of paranoia, hypocrisy and opportunism.
