Alfred Jarry's riotous, ground-breaking play, Ubu Roi was a sensation upon first staging.




This modern adaptation, which formed the basis of a short film, Roi, directed by acclaimed author, Neil Bartlett, brings a modernist classic to a contemporary audience.




A bonkers and hilarious new translation, Ubu Royale was produced during the fever dream of lockdown. It features bodily incident and function. It is gloriously chaotic but, as Neil Bartlett so rightly says, consistency is for losers.
