In this contemporary adaptation, Ma and Pa Ubu are in Greatlandia, and during their rise to power they find themselves riding the big waves of fast food gastronomy and trickledown economics, until all hell breaks loose!
Remarkably prescient – this adaptation of Jarry’s Ubu Trilogy written in response to the GW Bush administration is even more apt to the Trump years. Now updated to reflect the new “commander in chief,” UBU ® is a play for our times.
Ubu premiered at the George Gershwin Theatre at Brooklyn College in November 2006 under the direction of Helen E. Richardson.
