Ubu Roi
Ubu Roi is a play written by Alfred Jarry in 1896 that is the defining classic of the Dada art movement in theater. It is a collection of three plays written throughout his life to satirize European philosophies and its sometimes ludicrous practices. Ubu is a nobody, at one point a slave on a Turkish Galley, at another point the King of Poland. Alfred Jarry began to write his masterpiece when only 17 and living in France. His plays were widely and wildly hated for their lack of respect to royalty (especially French royalty) but his works gained popularity as time went on.
