Ubu Roi

Sat 12 Jul 2008 - Mon 14 Jul 2008

Eves 7.45pm Matinees 2.30pm

A Royal & Derngate Youth Theatre Production

An absurdly brilliant take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Ubu Roi is about power, absolute power and absolutely total corruption!

Get ready to witness a totally misguided, hilarious, utterly wild fight for a throne! Pa Ubu is fat, ugly, greedy and obsessed with money. He’s also about to become King. Egged on by his wife, Ma Ubu, and his trusty followers, Dogpile, Big Bad Bernie, Wallop and the Barmpots, Pa Ubu is mercilessly killing everyone (and everything) that stands in his way of becoming the all-conquering leader of Balony. And then he’s going to raise taxes to get rich. The ultimate tale of the man who shouldn’t be King, this playful production is full of hearty laughs and complete and utter chaos!
