Home Productions Reviews Script Excerpts ... Books The Ionesco Festival, a production of Untitled Theater Co. #61 Eugène Ionesco: Man of the Theatre/Theatrical Man 1909 (Slatina, Romania) - 1994 (Paris, France) Quite by accident, his chroniclers would have it, Ionesco turned to playwriting just before turning 40. His first adult play, The Bald Soprano , was inspired by an English language textbook which, by its repetition of simple grammatical constructions and vocabulary of domestic banality, reiterated essential properties about the world. For example: the ceiling is above; the floor is below; the city is a noisy place; the country is a quiet place. The rhythmic coincidence of elementary syntax and semantic construction of consciousness appealed to Ionesco's sensibility and slid into his own dialogue. A pair of couples featured in the textbook became the Smiths and the Martins, and in pre-production, were fashioned in the Victorian cliches of a particularly English bourgeoisie. Ionesco sent his first completed script out to several theatres, including the Comedie francaise. At the suggestion of Monique Saint-Come (a translator and friend), a copy was given to the 23-year-old director, Nicolas Bataille, who decided to take it on. Bataille and his troupe struggled to arrive at a fitting technique, at first attempting outright parody, then settling on a much more restrained approach. In order to maintain the balance of realism and fantasy, the set designer, Jacques Noel, was not given the script, but rather asked to create the drawing room for

INTRODUCTION Biographical Information Ionesco was born in Slatina, Romania, to a French mother and a Romanian father. He spent his happy, early childhood years in France, returning to Romania after his parents’ divorce in 1925. In 1929 he enrolled at the University of Bucharest, where he specialized in French literature. After taking his degree he lived in Bucharest, where he taught French and began writing poetry and literary criticism. In 1936 he married a philosophy student, Rodica Burlieano, and two years later the couple moved to France after Ionesco accepted a scholarship to prepare a dissertation on the subject of death in modern French poetry. He spent the next ten years in Paris working as a journalist, teacher, and proofreader, deliberately avoiding the theater, which he dismissed as a complete waste of time and energy. In 1948, at age thirty-nine, Ionesco began his career in the theater—quite by accident. He had undertaken to learn English by using a popular self-teaching method, and while reciting the seemingly random phrases used in the instruction manual found the task to make less and less sense. At the same time he found the phrases full of humorous possibilities and felt that they had a surreal existence of their own that was quite separate from their ordinary meaning. He soon abandoned the idea of learning English and conceived the idea of writing his first play by jotting down words and rearranging sentences. He showed the finished product (written in French) to a director and then to an editor at a major publishing house, both of whom dismissed the work. However, a friend showed it to Nicholas Bataille, a young director with a small company who immediately recognized its originality and produced it for the stage.

Reflections of a working writer and reader Macbett by Eugene Ionesco 14th September 2007 Written during the Cold War, Eugene Ionesco’s Macbett remoulds Shakespeare’s Macbeth into a furiously comic tale of ambition, corruption and excess, creating a tragic farce which takes human folly to its wildest extremes. Macbeth , which can be seen as the study of an individual psychopath, is given no time whatsoever in the text of Macbett , for the latter play is concerned with the absurdity, the madness of all power brokers and those involved in the process of bringing about war. The production is by the Royal Shakespeare Company. If you enjoyed this post, subscribe to my RSS feed Filed under art politics reviews Related Tags: absurd assassination banco cold war ...

Home About us Contact us Membership ... Links Monday 23 July 2007 18.30 – 20.30, The Romanian Cultural Centre, 8th floor, 54-62 Regent Street, London W1B 5RE; Tel. 020 7439 4052, ext 102; e-mail: mail@ratiufamilyfoundation.com; Entry is free but booking is essential. The author of the Bald Soprano was born in Romania, as Eugen Ionescu, but died in France, as the famed Eugene Ionesco… All the major contradictions of his identity are, ironically, captured by this career path. Much like Beckett – the reluctant Irishman –, Ionesco maintained a bafflingly ambivalent attitude towards his native soil. Moreover, at the end of his life, he spoke fondly of his Romanian roots, influences, and old friends. Yet his was never a true exile, as some commentators have claimed, but a self imposed estrangement that – sadly – endured even after 1989. Although he never went back to Romania, and although he imperatively adopted the French spirit and language, Ionesco is still regarded in his fatherland as Ionescu, and often as “our Ionescu”. Is this an abusive misapprehension or merely a natural impulse to claim one of the greatest playwrights of modern times, who was in fact born Romanian? This is, and is likely to remain, a question with no easy answer. Through a cross-cultural analysis of the European reception of his oeuvre, this presentation will explore some of the intricacies of Ionesco’s Romanian-ness, a human and cultural dimension with an immediacy beyond the French trajectory of his existence.
