About Ubu Roi
One of the most extraordinary events of the late nineteenth century in Paris was the opening on December 11, 1896, at the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre, of Alfred Jarry’s play Ubu Roi. The audience was scandalized by this revolutionary satire, developed from a schoolboy farce, which began with a four-letter word, defied all the traditions of the stage, and ridiculed the established values of bourgeois society. This new adaptation by Brien Lang and Phoenyx Williams embraces all the wonderful scandal of 19th century Paris and 21st century America in a joyous celebration of music, theatre, food-fights, and general bad taste.
