Bushwa: A Modern UBU

Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 23
When: 8:00pm
Where: Goethe-Institut, 812 Seventh Street, NW

John Morogiello adapts Alfred Jarry's surreal UBU ROI as a political farce/satire. Three guesses who King Ubu has become. Like the original UBU, BUSHWA is scatological, violent, amoral and vulgar. What's not to love?

Lawbreaking, corruption and abuse . . . and that's just what he does to the English language!

3. Cool - I'm one of the producers! Here's more from a WAPO blurb:

The playwright minces no words about the target of his update of Alfred Jarry's absurdist, anarchic 1896 play "Ubu Roi," about a crude, amoral lowlife who becomes a tyrannical ruler. "Bushwa" is "incredibly silly and as offensive as the administration it mocks," he says. "We place the blame entirely on the top. We have no Cheney, or Rumsfeld.
