Ionesco at Unity

For those interested in the zany theatre of Eugene Ionesco a trip up Aro Street to the Unity Theatre is a must. This week Unity is presenting a production by Nola Millar of Ionesco's Rhinoceros.

Using a number of experienced actors including Jeffrey Rowe as Berenger, Douglas Drury and Jan Fraser and a number of university and training college students. Miss Millar's production promises to be an interesting and lively one.

The Aro Street theatre, surely one of the most fascinating in Wellington, has been rearranged for this production in order to cope with the demands of the script for a French market-place, a publishing office, and private bedrooms-all of which have to collapse during the play as a herd of rhino enter.

Over the past few years Unity have presented a number of plays with student actors (notably Life of the Insects and Baxter's The Bureaucrat). Later this year they will present an unset production of Stephen D, based on the writings of James Joyce.
