Théâtre de la Pire Espèce

Two armies of French baguettes face each other in a stand-off as tomato bombs explode, an egg beater hovers over fleeing troops and molasses-blood splatters on fork-soldiers as they charge King Ubu. Anything goes as a country’s fate is sealed on nothing more than a table top!

Hammering out a huge farce on a tiny scale, peppering their buffoonery with multiple film references, the two performers of this leading Québécois theatre company have perfected this award-winning show over 850 performances in Québec, Mexico, Brazil and Europe.

Presented in partnership with Salisbury Playhouse.
