What would you do if everyone around you started to change?
An unassuming town faces a surprising threat: siege by rhinoceroses. The population bit by bit begins to change, and the danger turns beastly as people and opinions transform. One man is forced to question the role he plays as an individual within greater societal change Theatre Paradok’s exciting new take on this absurdist classic will see the play updated to explore modern social and political issues. The production will examine how ideologies take over in our current political climate – ideas of fake news, Facebook bubbles, and hatred spread at the click of a button. The audience will be sent live notifications with news alerts mid-show.
