"A twisted work of genius." Total Theatre Magazine

Jarry's notorious masterpiece rips its way onto stage led by the foul Pa Ubu, leaving a behind trail of destroyed illusions, conventions and manners. A grotesque and violent piece; part farce, part parody, part tragedy, is an enraging and intriguing satire of the grubbing, grabbing middle classes, led by the greedy, gluttonous coward, Ubu himself.

A highly physical production brings out the exuberant, hysterical and disturbing excess. Combining grotesque clowning and cabaret with infectious, atmospheric music, and an eye-opening visual narrative, it provokes, it shocks, it makes you laugh, but it also tears off the mask of respectability.
