The Chairs

The Chairs

By Eugène Ionesco

Directed by Vanessa Stalling

Touchstone
  • Summary
  • Cast & Staff

It’s been a few years since APT has had an absurdist on stage (Exit the King, 2018), and Ionesco is among the best of the genre. An elderly couple waits in a remote house for an Orator to lead a grand, scientific lecture. As the guests begin to “arrive,” the couple scrambles to seat all their guests, while holding increasingly surreal conversations. A “tragic farce” - clownish, quirky and existential – just the way we like our theatre of the absurd. Featuring Colleen Madden and James Ridge, and directed by Vanessa Stalling (Constellations, 2024).

Contains adult themes and language.
