Nevada Repertory Company presents Ubu the King
Redfield Proscenium Theatre
October 2, 2009 - October 3, 2009
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Nevada Repertory Company presents “Ubu the King”* by Alfred Jarry and directed by Rob Gander. One of the most extraordinary events of the late 19th century in Paris happened Dec. 11, 1895, at the Theatre de l’Oeuvre where the audience was scandalized by Alfred Jarry’s revolutionary satire, Ubu Roi. Developed from a schoolboy farce, Ubu Roi began with a four-letter word, defied all the traditions of the stage, and ridiculed values of the bourgeois society. The script for this production will be adapted, translated and improvised by University of Nevada, Reno students to recapture the outrage, lewdness and satire of Jarry’s original.
*This production contains crude language, bathroom humor, and may offend conservatives, liberals, independents, women, men, eunuchs, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and people from all walks of life. Sorry, no nudity.
