uBu
King of the Isle of Wight 
HORSEBOX THEATRE

NORTHWOOD HOUSE 

SATURDAY 23RD MAY | 7.00PM

Prepare for total theatrical chaos as Horse Box Theatre unleashes a riotous, Isle of Wight-inspired twist on Alfred Jarry’s anarchic masterpiece Ubu Roi.

This delirious, no-holds-barred parody of Macbeth cranks ambition and absurdity to the max, plunging the grotesque and power-hungry Mr & Mrs Ubu into a whirlwind of corruption, carnage, and clumsy coups.

Expect ambition gone awry, belly laughs that bite, and a symphony of sheer madness, all wrapped in a scathing satire of politics that’s as timely as it is utterly ridiculous.

Brace yourselves: this is loud, wild and gleefully unhinged new production.
