lonesco's plays, with all their provocative absurdities, have found a public whilst thirty-five years ago the stage plays of the Dadaists and Surrealists only found notoriety. (Scenes from some of these can be heard on Wednesday.)
In this programme IONESCO, speaking in French, is questioned about his aims by Olivier Todd. Why, for instance, did he call his first play, The Bald Prima-donna, an anti-play? Some of M. lonesco's replies are briefly paraphrased in English by the interviewer.
Philippe Soupault , who thinks lonesco ' a very great Surrealist,' will be interviewed by Olivier Todd on January 11 about his own allegiance to Surrealism.
