ABOUT_
We are delighted to welcome you to Ubu Roi, a grand evening of farce, political intrigue, sexy bears, and "pshite" (the p is not silent). Our devised version of this 17th century surrealist play by Alfred Jarry has been updated for today's times, featuring all new stories, scenes, and gags galore. It's guaranteed to be the wackiest show you'll see this theater season!
The show is 1 hour long with no intermission, and will be performed on the Widener Steps (outside Widener Library). This show takes place outdoors, so please plan and dress accordingly. Tickets are free!
Note: we will be acting in accordance with Harvard University guidelines for COVID-19, which can be found at https://www.harvard.edu/coronavirus/.
