In this award-winning adaptation of King Ubu by Alfred Jarry, anything goes as Poland's fate is sealed on a table top! Starring the Bottle as Père Ubu, the Hammer as Bordure, the Big Teapot as King Wenceslas, and many others, your kitchen gear finds a new life as two performers hammer out a small-scale fresco of grandiose buffoonery. With hundreds of performances around the world, this greatest hit of La Pire Espèce is proud to make its UK debut. 'Humorous and inventive, Ubu on the Table tickles the funny bone and the imagination' ***** (Voir).
