Description

First English Language edition. Translated by Barbara Wright, with "204 doodles on litho plates" by Franciszka Themerson. Also contains the brief "Song of the Disembraining" by Jarry as back-matter.

A stunning, controversial work that immediately outraged audiences with its scatological references during the 1896 premiere, the farce satirizes the tendency of the successful bourgeois to abuse his authority and become irresponsibly complacent. Championed as the first absurdist drama, Ubu Roi features a main character that is cruel, gluttonous, and grotesque.
