The MIT Wuming Theater Club is delighted to present its Spring 2022 production of “The Bald Soprano” on April 16-17th. 

The show will be performed in Mandarin Chinese with English subtitles.

“The Bald Soprano” is an absurdist satirical comedy written by French-Romanian playwright Eugene Ionesco in 1950 and translated into Chinese by Nobel laureate Gao Xingjian in 1975.

Description: The Smiths are a traditional couple from London who have invited another couple, the Martins, over for a visit. They are joined later by the Smiths' maid, Mary, and the local fire chief, who is also Mary's lover. The two families engage in apparently meaningless banter, telling stories and relating nonsensical poems in this timeless classic play credited as the foundation of Theater of the Absurd.
