Dramas & Plays Editorial Review
The Ubu Plays: Includes: Ubu Rex; Ubu Cuckolded; Ubu Enchained is a collection of three plays by French writer Alfred Jarry, centered around the iconic character Ubu. The plays are described as satirical, absurd, and filled with grotesque imagery that serves as a pointed criticism of political power and privilege. Ubu himself is portrayed as a foul and iconic figure, reminiscent of characters like Count Olaf and Disney villains, making for a unique and captivating read. The plays have been praised for their relevance in today's political climate, drawing parallels to figures like Trump and Putin. While some readers find the humor difficult to translate, particularly due to the reliance on slang and gibberish, the collection is recommended for fans of Jarry or those interested in absurdist theater. **
