Romanian-born French dramatist, whose one-act antiplay, LA CANTATRICE CHAUVE (1950; The Bald Soprano), inspired the Theater of the Absurd, Ionesco's later, full-length plays centre around a constant, semiautobiographical figure, Bérenger. Since the 1970s, his writing were mainly non-theatrical. Ionesco's earlier works were characterized by the logic of nightmare, but later his plays began to employ a more straightforward plot line.
