On Saturday morning’s edition of Saturday’s Role With Reno, host Renos Nicos Spanoudes spoke to Gregg Homann about a thrilling new version of Eugene Ionesco’s gripping play ‘The Lesson’ at The Market Theatre. “The Lesson” by Greg Homann stars theatre veterans Graham Hopkins and Fiona Ramsay alongside newcomer Lihle Ngubo.

This thrilling new version of Eugène Ionesco’s gripping play is based on a translation by Donald Watson. It is a darkly entertaining theatre production about enforcing power by using knowledge and culture as a weapon. Set in a small university town, an eager eighteen-year-old student arrives at the Professor’s home for a lesson. The action begins in a naturalistic way but shifts into a stylistic and visual feast as more surrealist and absurdist events take hold. What starts as a farcical interaction between the two becomes something more sinister.

Don’t miss this funny, breath-taking and chilling look at what happens when power, knowledge and culture collide.
