The Bald Soprano (La Cantatrice Chauve) is a play by Eugène Ionesco, first produced in 1950.The play is nominally set in London, and the characters include Mr. and Mrs. Smith, in whose house the action takes place; their maid, Mary; their guests, Mr. Martin and Mrs. Martin, who may or may not be married to each other; and a local fire chief. It is an example of absurdism, and features conversations with strange twists, bizarre speech patterns, unusual repetition, faulty logic, and many non sequiturs. It was inspired by the contrived sample dialogues in a language course Ionescu took, called English Without Toil, which was also his working title for the play. The final title was inspired by a flub made by one of the original actors during rehearsals, and has no relation to anything that happens in the play.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Here We Go Again!: The play ends with Mr. and Mrs. Martin alone on stage, at which point they segue into the same conversation that Mr. and Mrs. Smith were having alone on stage at the beginning. | |

Gainax Ending: After the captain leaves, the conversation between the Smiths and the Martins becomes more and more frantic and senseless, until they start shouting in unison "It's not that way, it's the other way!". The stage goes dark, then we're treated to a rehash of the first scene with the Martins instead of the Smiths. The curtains close slowly over this. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: The hosts and guests seem to find exceptionally unusual some ordinary events, like a man tying his shoe and another reading the newspaper. | |
