The Department of Drama opens their 2017-2018 Mainstage season with Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, translated by Barbara Wright.
OCTOBER 3 - OCTOBER 7 | 7:30 pm | UNIVERSITY THEATRE
Père Ubu was a mediocre and unqualified leader, doing and saying what it took to keep power in his greedy hands. The play, which takes place in Poland, or nowhere, deals with the cruelty of oppressors and the stupidity of the human condition. Sometimes described as an absurdist parody of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Ubu Roi has been called one of the most excessive political satires of all theatre history. The play ranks among the most original and powerful burlesques of all time.
Presented by special arrangment with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
