UBU
Chaos. Tyranny. Farce.
An absurd play for absurd times.
Dublin Youth Theatre is thrilled to present UBU; written by CN Smith, with the company, and directed by Dominic O’Brien.
The play is a radical reimagining of Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi, which obliterated convention and incited riots at its 1896 premiere. UBU, performed by the members of Dublin Youth Theatre, is a journey into the absurd. It presents a group of young people confined to detention, who transcend tedium by taking the absolute piss out of their teachers.
Ludicrous, surreal, rowdy, and raucous, UBU draws a caricature of tyranny in all its farcical manifestations.
Ages 12+yrs.
