Review: Ubu Roi at the Barbican

Cheek By Jowl's Ubu Roi is possibly one of the hardest shows I have ever had the task of reviewing as it's been so long since I've seen such a weirdly dark and intoxicating piece of theatre. Described as a brutal satire about greed and the abuse of power, Alfred Jarry’s piece certainly doesn't shy away from making its mark.
