Ubu Cuckolded
by Alfred Jarry, Cyril Connolly, Simon Watson Taylor
Synopsis
THE STORY: Germinated in the author's youth, and developed over his creative lifetime, the three UBU PLAYS embody Alfred Jarry's growing disenchantment with the disjointed society of his time—which is our time as well.
The second play, UBU CUCKOLDED, continues and expands this biting, savage assessment of modern society and its foibles and brings Ubu into conflict, albeit fitfully, with his conscience.
In the third play, UBU ENCHAINED, the cycle is completed in a heightened, outrageous satire on the concept of freedom in its varying guises and interpretations.
