A Department of Theater Honors Thesis Workshop Production, conceived and adapted by Cameron Buxton '19

A multilingual adaptation of Eugène Ionesco’s classic anti-playThe Bald Soprano performed in French, Spanish, and English, exploring the interactions and limitations of language. A traditional English couple have invited their friends over for dinner, where they are eventually joined by the Fire Chief and Mary, the maid. As the evening wears on, tensions rise over continued inability to understand what anyone else is saying. Language itself eventually dissolves into senseless non-sequiturs as the characters seek understanding in the blurred barriers separating each language.
