Sakr died after colliding with a semi, which set his car on fire near Seventh Standard Road and Cheny Avenue on Feb. 6, as he was return­ ing home to Delano after refereeing a junior high basketball tournament at Liberty High School.

The play is from theater of the absurd, which consists of main- ly 1950s European playwrights. The viewer can take the play in several different ways, but the main theme in Ionesco’s play was conformity.
