​

The Lesson by Eugène Ionesco is a darkly comic one-act play that turns the ordinary into the absurd. 

​

A young student visits a professor for a private lesson, but as the session unfolds, language falters and tensions rise. Ionesco’s sharp, unsettling humour explores the fragility of communication and the strange power dynamics hidden in everyday life.

Blending wit and unease, The Lesson draws audiences into a world where logic bends and meaning slips away - a hallmark of Ionesco’s “Theatre of the Absurd”. At once funny, bizarre, and thought-provoking, it leaves us questioning who really holds the power.
