Ubu Roi
of Alfred Jarry, Barbara Wright (Translator), Franciszka Themerson (Illustrator)
Description
One of the most extraordinary events of the late nineteenth century in Paris was the opening on December 11, 1896, at the ThĂ©Ăątre de lâOeuvre, of Alfred Jarryâs play Ubu Roi. The audience was scandalized by this revolutionary satire, developed from a schoolboy farce, which began with a four-letter word, defied all the traditions of the stage, and ridiculed the established values of bourgeois society.Barbara Wrightâs witty translation of this riotous work is accompanied with drawings by Franciszka Themerson. Two previously untranslated essays in which Jarry explains his theories of the drama have also been included.
