by Eugene Ionesco
directed by Rob Melrose
October 24 – November 23

Eugene Ionesco, legendary master of absurdist theater, returns to the EXIT with a rarely seen classic in a surprising and hilarious production by The Cutting Ball Theater. This undiscovered jewel from the 1950s is Ionesco’s most surreal and autobiographical play. An unsuspecting couple answers a knock at their door and a detective enters. What starts as a simple interrogation becomes an incredible journey through their past, present and future. Don’t miss your chance to see this tour-de-force production by the EXITs new resident theater company.

The Cutting Ball Theater’s 2015-16 season is made possible in part by Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Fleishhacker Foundation, Grants for the Arts / San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Mental Insight Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Kenneth Rainin Foundation, The RHE Charitable Foundation, The San Francisco Arts Commission, The San Francisco Foundation, and The Zellerbach Family Foundation, and Season Producers John and Paula Gambs, Ken Melrose, and Velia Melrose.
