by Eugene Lonesco (Translated by Martin Crimp)

Les Chaises (English: The Chairs) is an absurdist "tragic farce" by Eugene Ionesco. It was written in 1952 and debuted the same year. The play was first produced on April 22, 1952, at the Théâtre Lancry under the direction of Sylvain Dhomme. It was revived in 1956 at the Studio des Champs Elysées, directed by Jacques Mauclair. Two revivals of the play were produced in 1997 and 1998. One developed as a collaboration between Theatre de Complicite and the Royal Court Theatre, was directed by Simon McBurney, and became a surprise hit in London, later running at the John Golden Theatre on Broadway in 1998. The play was also revived at the Gate Theatre in Notting Hill, London in November 2006. The farewell production of departing artistic director Thea Sharrock, it starred Susan Brown and Nicholas Woodeson in the key roles.
