UBC Theatre takes on Ubu Roi, Alfred Jarry鈥檚 avant garde foray into the nature of greed and power. Not only did the scandalous, surreal and darkly comic play spark a 15-minute riot when it premiered in Paris in 1896, it provided Cleveland鈥檚 fantastic experimental rock band Pere Ubu its name. UBC MFA Directing student and Monster Theatre artistic director Ryan Gladstone directs 16 members of UBC鈥檚 BFA Acting ensemble in more than 40 parts. Ubu Roi runs March 20 to April 5 at Frederic Wood Theatre. Details at theatre.ubc.ca.
