Ubu Rex
Author(s):
Alfred Jarry
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.
