\u201cUbu\u201d is written by the French playwright Alfred Jarry. It was first performed in Paris on December 10, 1896. He was deeply influenced by aestheticism and symbolism. \u201cUbu\u201d repudiates traditional dramatic forms and concepts and eschews the growing trend in naturalism on stage in the period. <\/p>\n
\u201cUbu\u201d is a kind of parody of classical drama and specifically of Shakespeare\u2019s Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear. In the play, Ubu P\u00e8re leads a revolution, and kills the King of Poland and his sons. Thereafter, the Queen of Poland is being chased to be killed, but Prince Buggerlas escapes. The ghost of the dead king calls for revenge. Ubu P\u00e8re becomes a tyrant and he confiscates the assets from the nobles and populace and kills them ridiculously. Whilst on the other hand, Captain Brubbish who is betrayed by Ubu P\u00e8re flees to Russia and persuades the Tzar to declare war on Ubu P\u00e8re. <\/p>\n
When Ubu P\u00e8re is out to confront the invading Russians, his wife, Ubu M\u00e8re, tries to steal money that he has stashed in the palace. However, Bougrelas leads a revolt of the people against Ubu P\u00e8re and Ubu M\u00e8re but is forced to flee.
