 "Le Roi se meurt" translated as "Exit the King" (1962) shows him as King Bérenger I, an everyman figure who struggles to come to terms with his own death.Ionesco's later work has generally received less attention.This includes "La Soif et la faim" translated as "Hunger and Thirst" (1966), "Jeux de massacre" (1971), "Macbett" (1972, a free adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth") and "Ce formidable bordel" (1973).
