Victims Of Duty by Eugène Ionesco

"Victims of Duty" is a play that delves into the absurdity of the human condition through a surreal and satirical narrative. The story revolves around a couple whose quiet evening is interrupted by the arrival of a detective, who is on a quest to find the protagonist's predecessor in their apartment. As the detective pressures the protagonist to recall past events, the play descends into a chaotic and nonsensical investigation, blending reality with illusion. The work critiques societal obligations and the search for meaning, ultimately questioning the nature of truth and the role of individuals within the constructs of duty and authority.
