Ubu Roi By Alfred Jarry
Following its first performance in 1896, Alfred Jarry's brutal satire about greed and the abuse of power was outlawed for its scandalous language, violence and disrespect for authority.
Anarchic and petulant, King Ubu has seized control of Poland, Lithuania and everything in between, abetted by his equally monstrous wife. But an invading army soon threatens his petty dictatorship.

Perfomed in French.
