Amedee and Other Plays: Amedee, the New Tenant and Victims of Duty

The author of such modern classics as The Bald Soprano, Exit the King, Rhinoceros, and The Chairs, Eugèegrave;ne Ionesco is one of the most important and influential figures in the modern theater (Library Journal). This crucial collection combines The New Tenant with Améeacute;dée and Victims of Duty--the plays Richard Gilman has called, along with The Killer, Ionesco's greatest plays, works of the same solidity, fulness, and permanence as [those of] his predecessors in the dramatic revolution that began with Ibsen and is still going on.
