University of Minnesota, Morris production of Ubu Rex by Alfred Jarry and directed by George Fosgate.
Synopsis: Ubu Rex, David Copelin\u27s translation of the world\u27s first absurdist play, Alfred Jarry\u27s Ubu Roi, unmasks the savagery just below the surface of normal human behavior. The play\u27s premiere in Paris in 1896 caused a riot. Set in Poland – that is to say, nowhere , the play satirizes governments, philosophies, Shakespeare, and the greed and vanity of ordinary human beings. It is also very funny.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/theatre_programs/1079/thumbnail.jp
