Premiering at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival.
Papa Turd, a grotesque, greedy man, who is hungry for power, is convinced by his wife to kill the king of Poland. In the world of Ubu Roi, no one is without flaw; There’s a ghost, war, a bear, and everyone dies (classic). This absurdist parody of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Hamlet, and King Lear shocked and offended audiences with how obscene it was when it premiered in Paris in 1896; just hope you don’t get entangled in the chaos.
