Ubu Trump: A Drama in Five Acts

About Ubu Trump: A Drama in Five Acts

Drama. Translated and Entirely Updated by Rosanna Hildyard. Though ostensibly Surrealist, Alfred Jarry's 1888 play Ubu Roi bears disconcertingly close resemblance to America in 2017. This new version, which brings Ubu to the USA, is a bombastic, irreverent romp through the misadventures of the titular usurper of the White House, with a sharp eye for materialism and political infighting. Slightly Shakespearean, mostly scatological; the ridiculous UBU TRUMP is more than a spoof. This satirical translation-palimpsest forms a terrifyingly relevant comment on our world turned upside down.
