  Tháinig an dráma seo le Alfred Jarry chun solais ar dtús in 1896 agus áirítear é mar thús na gluaiseachta amharclannaíochta ‘Absurdist’. Léiríodh leagan de i mBéarla ag an Galway Arts Festival i 2006.

• Synopsis

  This is the first of three stylised burlesques in which Jarry satirises European philosophies and their absurd practices — in particular the propensity of the complacent bourgeois to abuse the authority engendered by success.
