Title

By: Alfred Jarry
Adapted and Directed: Martin Danziger
Music and Lyrics: Nick Underwood
Cast: Robbie Jack, Louise Allan and Nick Underwood

A highly physical production of Jarry's notorious classic that flaunted the exuberant, hysterical and disturbing excess of this shameless satire; part farce, part parody, part tragedy, led by the greedy, gluttonous coward, Ubu himself.

The show toured Scotland, France, Germany and Italy and finished with a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe winning the Guardian Culture Vulture prize and receiving no less that four 5 star reviews.

"In Moulin- Rouge type montage, Ubu remains the ultimate timeless tyrant; gorging on McDonald’s conjures up a zeitgeist of gluttonous instant gratification, intelligently balances timelessness with contemporary cultural icons to generate relevance and wit. Stylistically sleek, sumptuously sexual, voluptuously vulgar and ****ing funny." Total Theatre Magazine

"An excellently irreverent version of this masterpiece says more about our crazy world that a dozen documentaries." Sunday Herald
