The Stray Dog Jammers - Rhino - Devised adaptation of Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros

Dorset based The Stray Dog Jammers presents an adaptation of the post war avant-garde absurdist drama. Written in response to the upsurge of Fascism in the 1930s, Rhino explores the themes of conformity, culture, responsibility, logic, mass movements, mob mentality, philosophy and morality – all still highly relevant in today’s world. Its central character, Berenger, the non conformist who is the only one not to capitulate to the herd mentality, and the only one not to metamorphosize into a Rhinoceros.
