    3 Quarks Daily logo 3 Quarks Daily 5 days ago
    Ds27a

    In 1896 Alfred Jarry’s Absurdist play Ubu Roi ushered in Surrealism which created a platform for political and psychological disruption against the events of the early 20thcentury, particularly the atrocities of the First World War. Satire provided a...

    Wall Street Journal logo Wall Street Journal 1 week ago

    Children would have had no difficulty with it, yet by the late 19th century, adult audiences had grown unused to such things.As Alastair Brotchie recounts in "Alfred Jarry: A Pataphysical Life," the playwright was just 23 when "Ubu Roi" opened. The...

    International Criminal Tribunal

    Simon Stephens's The Trial of Ubu, at the Hampstead Theatre, begins with a quick-draw, crude in all ways, précis of Alfred Jarry's 1896 play Ubu Roi. Many of us have a beef with our physics teachers, but as far as I'm aware, Jarry is alone in turning...

    Guardian Unlimited logo Guardian Unlimited 2 weeks ago
    The Trial of Ubu

    Stephens has had a witty idea: to follow a potted version of Alfred Jarry's 1896 play about a despotic monster with the arraignment of Ubu by an international tribunal. In the process Ubu becomes a symbol of contemporary dictators, and issues are raised...
