Who gets the airtime?

Who commands the stage?

AND IS ANYONE GETTING WIFI?

A riotous dark comedy with political undertones, UBU SUX is a new, multimedia adaptation of Alfred Jarry's classic satire Ubu Rex, adapted, repurposed and amplified for right here, right now. 

Grotesque, ridiculous and deeply profound, this production asks some hard questions about 'the economy of influence'. Relevant, contemporary and pointed, UBU SUX is also very VERY funny - there are stupid hats and all kinds of jokes (including some that speak to questionable tastes). And there's also a bear! Why? You'll have to watch to find out...
