	'UBU ROI'
		Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi was translated for the Gaberbocchus Press by Barbara Wright and illustrated by Franciszka Themerson.
		Ubu Roi created a scandal when it was first performed in the Theatre de l’Oeuvre in Paris in 1896 and was described by André Gide as "the most extraordinary thing seen in the theatre for a long time".
		The figure of Père Ubu was to be a potent one for Jarry, who became obsessed by his creation, to the point that he began to imitate him, adopting an odd way of speaking, referring to himself as ‘Père Ubu’ and behaving in a highly eccentric, Ubuesque manner.

	Joan Miro - Ubu Roi
		Ubu Roi was written by Alfred Jarry and first printed in 1896 before the premier of the play in December 1896.
		Ubu Roi tells the story of a power-driven man, Père Ubu, who is the Polish King’s Knight of the Orders and Count of Sandomir.
		Père and Mère Ubu are able to make their escape and sail back to their home in France, thinking nothing more of the incident than what great stories they will have to tell their friends.

	Alfred Jarry
		At the age of 15 he had written Ubu roi in collaboration with a classmate at the Lycée of Rennes, to ridicule a pompous mathematics teacher.
		Ubu roi was first presented on December 10, 1896 at the Théâtre de l'Oeuvre.

	TV ACRES: Advertising Mascots - Animals - Ubu Roi the Dog (Gary David Goldberg)
		At the end of each of Goldberg's television programs (FAMILY TIES/ NBC/1982-89; THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE/CBS/1991-93; and SPIN CITY/ABC/1996-2002, among others) a fl and white photograph of Ubu Roi is flashed on the screen.
		Off screen Gary David Goldberg speaks the phrase "Sit Ubu, Sit!" and the comment "Good Dog!" The dog acknowledges his master voice with a quick, single dog bark.
		Ubu Roi (who died in 1984) played Frisbee with Goldberg during his college days.

	Ubu Roi
		Ubu Roi has always been subjected to exalted claims or exaggerated scorn.
		Alfred Jarry, author of the Ubu plays, inventor of "Pataphysics", and "eccentric to the point of mania and lucid to the point of hallucination," became the focal point of both outrage and awe.
		Performances of Ubu Roi are July 16-August 1, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 7:00 at Actors Workshop, 40 Boylston Street, Boston.

	Alfred JARRY
		For the premier of Ubu Roi at Lugné-Poe's Théâtre de l'Oeuvre, a crowd of intellectuals and invited friends had gathered at the Théâtre Nouveau in the Rue Blanche expecting something new and exciting.
		Ubu Roi itself was not produced again until 1908, the year after Jarry's death.
		The story of Ubu Roi's premier has been told again and again, but a lot of the facts have been convoluted by time, sloppy academics, and the fallacy of the human memory.

	David Ball, translation of Ubu roi, Alfred Jarry (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Contemporary slang is mixed with fake archaisms; highfalutin literary vocabulary and diction—most often wildly incorrect—brusquely alternate with vulgar language and the linguistic and physical gestures of slapstick farce.
		Ubu's consistent use of invented oaths (like the "candlestick" above) and a whole vocabulary of recurrent neologisms all contribute to the construction of Ubuese, or Ubuench.

	The Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf: Ubu Roi (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The set and the props of Ubu Roi were a significant part of the “magic of theater” that we eventually destroyed and redefined.
		This embarrassing disruption of the play’s narrative was followed by Ubu’s entrance, in which he immediately ripped the cave painting from the laundry lines (hopefully, evoking more pity from the audience for the stage hands, as well as inciting some more disgust for Ubu/Ryan).
		These props were used to signify that the Royal Ubus themselves had once been the same people who were now their subjects; and by abusing their subjects, they were, in a sense, abusing themselves, or at least their own kind.

		Ubu not only represented the upper middle class, but also suggested that the lower classes, having now appropriated Ubu as their symbol by his close linking to a base bodily function, were struggling to be seen and heard.
		The connection of Ubu and the bourgeoisie is made clear in Ubu cocu, where the "sometime King of Poland and Aragon, professor of pataphysics" becomes a tax collector (gathering the funds in his "pschitt-sack," of course).(29) Ubu also has a conscience, which he keeps in a box and when angered, banishes to a chamber pot.
		The characters in the last drama, Ubu enchaine, continue in the scatological vein: Brother Bung, Pissweet, and Pissale (the last two are known in public as the Marquis of Grandmeadow and the Marquis of Grandair), for instance.

	UBU AND THE TRUTH COMMISSION : HANDSPRING PUPPET COMPANY - cutting edge Puppet Theatre
		Ubu Roi follows the political, military, and criminal exploits of the grandiose and rapacious Ubu, a kind of parodic Macbeth who, together with his wife, attempts to seize all power for himself.
		Ubu's weapons are a pshittasword and a pshittashook, and his sceptre is by tradition a lavatory brush, a stage prop which you will see appear in our production.
		Ubu's story is, at one level, a singular story of individual pathology; yet it is at the same time an exemplary account of the relationships between capitalist ideology, imperialism, race, class, and gender, religion and modernisation in the southern African sub-region.

	U B U W E B :: Bernd Alois Zimmermann
		The Academy of the country in which the piece set is commanded to attend the banquet - and at the end in the 'Marche du decervellage' is dispatched through the trap door: symbolic of the fate of a liberal academy under the reign of a usurper.
		In order to show up our absolutely disproportionate intellectual and cultural situation, musical collages of the most amusing and hardest tone are used; the piece is pure collage, based on dances of the 16th and 17th centuries, interspersed with quotations from earlier and contemporary composers.
		Ubu is the incarnation of a depraved bourgeois, a tyrant and mass murderer, boorish and coarse, who has made his way by murder from being a captain of a regiment of dragoons to become the Head of State.

	Crude, Juvenile, Highly Offensive --`Ubu Roi' Was All That and More \| The Reporter: Four Corners, Florida (Site not responding. Last check: )
		That didn't surprise me. "Ubu Roi" is as strange as its title, a totally adventuresome comedy that adopts anarchy as its true raison d'etre -- not necessarily in the political sense, although this is a very political play, but in an artistic sense.
		Crude, juvenile, at times moronic, highly offensive and unabashedly goofy, "Ubu Roi" is the kind of play that makes no effort to accommodate the audience; you're either going to love the show's originality or cringe and feel the whole thing is interminable.
		"Ubu Roi" is a wildly experimental play that's been credited with being the theatrical precursor to the absurdity, surrealist and Dada art movements that would help inspire everything from the artwork of Salvador Dali to the films of Luis Bunuel and Roman Polanski to the music of Frank Zappa.

	Miró, Ubu Roi
		Père Ubu first appeared in 1888 in a collaboration between Alfred Jarry and a fellow student at the Rennes Lycée, but his first public appearance came in 1893 when Jarry published some of prose works in an avant-garde review, the Minutes de Sable Mémorial.
		As presented by Jarry, Père Ubu is a bully, an ingrate, a coward; Miró's Ubu is all of these but most of all a force for chaos.
		Ubu Roi was printed by Mourlot and published by Teriade in an edition of 205 portfolios, all numbered and signed by Miró, 20 of which were HC impressions, containing a set of unsigned color lithographs with centerfoldprinted on Arches paper.

	My Ubu, Myself
		Early versions of Ubu Roi and Ubu Cocu were written and read among friends in the years that followed, culminating in '96 at Aurelien Lugne-Poe's Theatre d'Art in two history-making performances of Ubu Roi.
		A two-act version of Ubu Roi -- with songs -- designed for marionettes, under the name Ubu sur la Butte, appeared in print in 1906, the same year that Jarry suffered a stroke and nearly died of malnutrition exacerbated by a deterioration caused by excessive drinking, ether-inhaling, and, some say, opium use.
		Ubu's freedom from the restraints of good and evil was, in Jarry's hands, the artistic equivalent of an anarchist's bomb.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Ubu Roi (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Helmer Julia Rodriguez-Elliott's staging of Jarry's landmark precursor to surrealistic modern drama gleefully highlights the comical, absurdist elements of the rise and fall of Ubu (Alan Blumenfeld) and his cohort in crime, Ma Ubu (Deborah Strang), while downplaying the scripter's scathing indictment of the bourgeoisie.
		There is certainly nothing calculating about Blumenfeld's Pa Ubu, who exudes a ravenous sense of entitlement as he murders his nobles, robs the treasury, pillages the citizenry and occasionally defecates in plain view.
		The main strength of "Ubu Roi" is the facile interplay of a talented, hard-working ensemble that never allows the thematic machinations to lag during the helmer's complicated choreographed routines and myriad rapid-fire scene changes.
