Abstract
Eugene Ionesco (1909 to 1994) was Romanian-French playwright. He is considered one of the famous figures among absurd dramatists. He utilizes the absurdity in his drama ‘Future is in Eggs’ (1951). The play shows depression era and its phrases. It was the time immediately after WWII. Surely people were suffering from many problems. Samuel Beckett and Ionesco belonged to the same era and they had written plays characterizing theatre of absurd. Many critics and researchers have written about absurdity of language which means the language is ambiguous and unclear, senseless, meaningless and full of repetitions. This study critically analyzes the content of the play and presents various research articles in the support of the topic. This study also offers various answers which prove that Eugene Ionesco definitely uses absurd language in his play ‘Future is in Eggs’ and endorses that it was surely a new form of drama for the people of 1950s. The conclusion of the article shows the positive indication towards the topic that absurdity was a new form of drama for the people of that time.
