Synopsis: The Polish Play is billed as a conflation of Macbeth by William Shakespeare and Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, devised and directed by Henry Wishcamper. This description is from the advance materials: "In The Polish Play, the idiot-tyrant Père Ubu, encouraged by his wife and the Three Weird Sisters, ascends the throne of Poland by slaughtering the meek King Wenceslas. Simultaneously a dark tragedy, a broad satire, and an absurdly gruesome Grand Guignol, The Polish Play presents one of Western theater's greatest stories. With the use of puppets ranging from marionettes to grotesque Grand Guignol, The Polish Play features over-the-top graphic violence, including a large scale puppet massacre.". nytheatre.com | ||||
