Ubu Cuckolded

Synopsis:
Germinated in the author's youth, and developed over his creative lifetime, the three UBU PLaYS embody alfred Jarry's growing disenchantment with the disjointed society of his time-which is our time as well. the second play, UBU CUCKOLDeD, continues and expands this biting, savage assessment of modern society and its foibles and brings Ubu into conflict, albeit fitfully, with his conscience. In the third play, UBU eNCHaINeD, the cycle is completed in a heightened, outrageous satire on the concept of freedom in its varying guises and interpretations

Original Playwright - Alfred Jarry. Translated by Cyril Connolly And Simon Watson Taylor

Ubu Rex

Synopsis:
Germinated in the author's youth, and developed over his creative lifetime, the three UBU PLaYS embody alfred Jarry's growing disenchantment with the disjointed society of his time-which is our time as well. the first play, UBU ReX, is a strange parody of Macbeth, set in an imaginary Poland, which details the rise to the throne of Pere Ubu, a grotesque, outlandish figure who personifies all that is base and stupid in mankind. the language and action of the play are terse and direct, yet eloquent in conveying the startling parallels between the ruthless, ugly world of Ubu and our own times.
