UBU Approaches

After MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, starting tomorrow, UT brings you UBU ROI, a surrealist farce by Alfred Jarry. Loosely chronicling the story of Pa and Ma UBU, a power-hungry couple who aim to take over all of Poland, the focus of this production, directed by Ethan Dubin, is on the madness of this play, incorporating huge mechanical contraptions, an army of puppets of multiple kinds, masks, composed music, dreamscapes, massive fights, and more!

OEDIPUS has been getting rave reviews!
“THE best Oedipus I’ve ever seen! The most intense, surprising, moving, believable, at times funny, galvanic, inventive, lucid performance ever. The use of space an movable audience was continually and wonderfully unexpected and right. “ – David Bevington
