The Lesson

Written By Eugene Lonesco

Directed By Sukant Goel

SYNOPSIS :

The Lesson, a one-act play by Eugène Ionesco, is a comedic parable of the dangers

inherent in indoctrination, performed in 1951 as La Leçon and published in 1953.

In a seemingly lonely old professor’s house, a young pupil comes for her ‘lesson’ as she

wants a Doctorate in ‘all the possible streams.’ The professor seems to be her best hope

and his encouraging, respectful and demure demeanour, make her feel all the more

confident.
