Description

Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry A provocative and influential play that has sparked intense debate since its premiere in 1896. This new translation by Rob Melrose brings out the Shakespearean echoes of UBU while using words from classic American comedy to capture the playful spirit of the original work. The play's bold and irreverent style, which challenges traditional notions of good taste and behavior, has made it a precursor to the theatre of the absurd. With its unique blend of satire and absurdity, Ubu Roi continues to divide audiences to this day. Rob Melrose's translation offers a fresh and accessible take on this groundbreaking play, making it an ideal choice for readers interested in exploring the roots of modern theatre.
