On the surface, this thing might look pretty easy. After all, it’s about a bunch of people turning into rhinos, and the language isn’t in iambic pentameter. But this bad boy, like a lot of the plays by the absurdists, can be a tough nut to crack.
Rhinoceros doesn’t necessarily read (or play) like more straightforward works of drama like Death of a Salesman or Hamlet (well, maybe that one ain’t so easy). But still, if you’re not used to the style, it can be difficult at times. Once you sink in, though, it can be really funny and raise some big-time questions.
