The New tenant
Almost a vaudeville act, this play from the Theater of the Absurd expresses Ionesco's sense of the ambiguity and incoherence of much of modern life. The play opens in an empty room at the top of a six-story walk-up. Soon the new tenant arrives--and begins filling up the room with furniture. Piece by piece, stack upon stack, chairs and bureaus fill the room. Finally the man is crowded into a tiny square--isolated, lost, barricaded by four walls of his own furniture. In this peculiar way, he has cut himself off from the world; he has created for himself a kind of death.
