UBU

UBU

Chaos. Tyranny. Farce.

An absurd play for absurd times.

Dublin Youth Theatre is thrilled to present UBU; written by CN Smith, with the company, and directed by Dominic O’Brien.

The play is a radical reimagining of Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi, which obliterated convention and incited riots at its 1896 premiere. UBU, performed by the members of Dublin Youth Theatre, is a journey into the absurd. It presents a group of young people confined to detention, who transcend tedium by taking the absolute piss out of their teachers.

Ludicrous, surreal, rowdy, and raucous, UBU draws a caricature of tyranny in all its farcical manifestations.

Ages 12+yrs.
