RHINOCEROS!

http://www.untitledtheater.com/rhinocerosessay.htm

"Ionesco wrote a number of plays in the 50s, but it was not until Rhinoceros (first produced in 1960) that he received global attention. He called the play an anti-Nazi work, and it was performed just long enough after World War II for tensions to have settled down, but not so long that the almost visceral fear associated with fascism had dissipated.
...
He died in 1994, but Rhinoceros is still performed across the world as a reminder of the human capacity for evil—when men consciously want to do evil, and, more frighteningly, when they unconsciously desire it."
