The Ubu Plays: Includes: Ubu Rex; Ubu Cuckolded; Ubu Enchained, Paperback/Alfred Jarry

Descriere

Alfred Jarry is regarded as one of the founders of modern avant-garde theatre Dada, Surrealism, Pataphysics, Theatre of Cruelty, the Absurdall owe a debt to Jarry. (Encore) This volume contains his three classic Ubu texts: Ubu Roi, Ubu Cocu and Ubu Enchaine. Through the lucid translations of Connolly and Taylor, the reader comes to realize that the violent and loathsome Ubu is Jarry s dark metaphor for man in the modern age. As Ubu himself said, We shall not have succeeded in demolishing everything unless we demolish the ruins as well.
