The author of such modern classics as The Bald Soprano, Exit the King, Rhinoceros, and The Chairs, Eugène Ionesco is "one of the most important and influential figures in the modern theater" (Library Journal). This crucial collection combines The New Tenant with Amédée and Victims of Duty—the plays Richard Gilman has called, along with The Killer, Ionesco's "greatest plays, works of the same solidity, fulness, and permanence as [those of] his predecessors in the dramatic revolution that began with Ibsen and is still going on."

Amedee, the New Tenant, Victims of Duty
[This is just for Amedee]:
Well, what a strange play. I greatly enjoyed the "try to keep things normal" while something greatly abnormal is occurring in the vicinity (that is, Amedee and his wife, Madeleine, are an unhappily married couple with a corpse that is growing in their house). There were a couple of sections that, without more research or a more thorough investigation of Ionesco and his theatre, were too much. In some cases, it felt like filling time (the dream/play sequence).
Of course the ending, where all normalcy is completely broken, is a climax of the absurd and bizarre (more in the alternate ending than the three Act version) that I truly long to see. In fact, this would be a very interesting play to see staged.
I would never want to actually be in charge of directing this, though. The technical elements of this play ... that's a nightmare that would grow and grow and grow ...
