"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Its lunatic grotesquerie is brilliantly caught in McLeish's new translation... Exhilaratingly combines the erudite with the lavatorial... classical parody and surreal farce anticipating avant-garde art as well as the Goons and Monty Python. --Guardian
Alfred Jarry (1873-1907) was a French writer, best known for his 1896 farce Ubu Roi, which began as a collaborative schoolboy satire on a physics teacher and is often considered to be a forerunner to the surrealist theatre movement of the early twentieth century. With its savage mockery of the French bourgeoisie and blatant disregard for theatrical form and convention, Jarry's work also influenced the Theatre of the Absurd.
