Often referred to as the father of the theater of the absurd, Romanian-born Ionesco was, along with Beckett and Genet, a highly influential playwright, inspiring the work of writers such as Tom Stoppard, Edward Albee and Fernando Arrabal. There is a darkly comic streak to his work, and he used repetition and ritual to turn language on its head.

Slatina, Rom. died March 28, 1994 in Paris, France) French playwright of Romanian origin. He studied in Bucharest and Paris, where he lived from 1945. His first one-act antiplay, The Bald Soprano (1950), inspired a revolution in dramatic techniques and helped inaugurate the Theater of the Absurd. He followed this up with other one-act plays where illogical events create an atmosphere that is both comic and grotesque, including The Lesson (1951), The Chairs (1952), and The New Tenant (1955). His most popular full-length play, Rhinoceros (1959), concerns a French provincial town in which all the citizens transform into rhinoceroses. Other plays include Exit the King (1962) and A Walk in the Air (1963). He was elected to the French Academy in 1970.
