We are currently in development for our most ambitious project to date a playfully provocative version of Neil Bartlett's Ubu Royale (after Alfred Jarry), a gloriously absurd satire about two megalomaniacal wannabe monarchs.

Picture them, Pa Ubu, a foul-mouthed, narcissistic buffoon, and Ma Ubu, a scheming, power-hungry Lady Macbeth.

Together, they are irresistibly awful—brought to life by performers whose charm somehow makes us root for their spectacular descent into chaos.

So bring on the dancing tyrants in this monster of a play.

Think Macbeth meets a potty mouth Punch and Judy with bodily functions, bad behaviour, outrageous excess and lots and lots and lots of swearing.

 

This explosive production features a cast of 3 playing more than twenty characters in a visually rich world built from junk, detritus and repurposed mobility aids—a playground of make-believe for this deeply unsavoury pair.

​

Expect inventive puppetry, razor-sharp satire, anarchic storytelling and a generous dose of mischief.

 

The Uba's will charm you. Confuse you. Seduce you. Outrage you.

They will leave audiences terrified and entertained.
