RHINOCEROS is not just a play, it is a significant event. Daramalan Theatre Company is offering a conducive atmosphere with options for light meals and drinks made available before and during the show. With options for table seating or theatre style seating, audiences will be offered the chance to relax into a comical yet insightful work of theatre. Book your TAPAS as an option with your ticket. One box (seen below) is generally enough for at least two people. Or simply book your seats in theatre style or at tables. Drinks and other basic snacks can be purchased separately at the bar that will be open from 6.00pm. Your ordered TAPAS will be held for you for pick-up at the bar from 6.00pm for the evening shows.

The bar will be open from 6.00pm and drinks and food may be taken into the theatre as music is performed pre-show. Our now famous TAPAS serving can be a meal for the evening or as an after-dinner serving. Either way it is a satisfying food offering for before and during the show.

The above image is a picture of the TAPAS meals offered for you.

Simply choose the option to include TAPAS with your ticket and you will be able to collect on the night. Boxes of TAPAS suite 2 or more people.

RHINOCEROS is an Absurdist Comedy by Eugene Ionesco. RHINOCEROS espouses an exceptional allegory for our time. Yet it is more of a discovery rather than a prognosis or proclamation. The pettiness of common discourse and the cliched sentimentalism presented in the play is drawn into harsh contrast with the cultural and social elephant in the room ... or in this case the rhinoceros!

For Ionesco: the play "may be a reflection of Ionesco’s feelings before he left Romania in 1938, when many of his acquaintances became adherents of the fascist Iron Guard movement. Ionesco: ‘People allow themselves suddenly to be invaded by a new religion, a doctrine, a fanaticism . . ."

Martin Esslin says of Ionesco: ". . . his work constitutes a truly heroic attempt to break through the barriers of human communication.’

Any of this sound familiar? Enjoy the show ...
