Theatre 101

“The absurd is defined as lacking purpose or goal.”
This lecture is really good though.
I always wanted to know why actors do like weird things on stage
He was talking about an old man with a tape
What about the one with the dead body that grows
“You don’t need to be drunk all the time to become an alcoholic
! . . . It’s that little drink before dinner. That’s what gradually poisons
your whole system! . . .”

It’s a catastrophe
What is?
This play by some Irish guy
The one who wrote about god “The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh.”
Now that was refreshing wasn’t it
What was?
The words

“Absurd plays depict man's reaction to a meaningless world.”
I always thought life was meaningless
I thought it was a vespa scooter when I was in my twenties
You’re older than twenty?
“Solitude seems to oppress me. And so does the company of other people.”

Waiting for god
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better”
Oh
What about the play about the Rhino’s or the one about chairs
That’s not what they’re about
“Theatre of the Absurd challenges religious and political certainties.”

"At the end, at the end of the end of the city of Paris, there was, there was, was what?"

With thanks to Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco

A playful poem with verses that dance happily along their lines and is full of linguistic mischief.
