It is nine o'clock in a bourgeois interior of London, the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The clock strikes the "seventeen English strokes." Mr and Mrs Smith have finished dinner. They chat by the fire. Mr Smith runs his journal. The couple is spreading about futile, often absurd or incoherent.
The word "absurd", Eugene Ionesco preferred that "astonishment" and this iconic piece is a reflection that does not age.
