Secret Show - Ubu Faust Brodrick Jones

Sep 3rd @ 1130pm - UBU FAUST by Brodrick Jones.  Ubu assumes the role of Faust in this raucous, rapid-fire puppet comedy. Inspired by the plays of Alfred Jarry, the legends of Faust, and the traditions of Punch and Judy, UBU FAUST is a satirical exploration of a most grotesque and unlikable man and the lengths to which he'll go to satisfy his many hungers. Well, two. Two hungers. He really only has the two.

UBU FAUST by Brodrick Jones - Ubu assumes the role of Faust in this raucous, rapid-fire puppet comedy. Inspired by the plays of Alfred Jarry, the legends of Faust, and the traditions of Punch and Judy, UBU FAUST is a satirical exploration of a most grotesque and unlikable man and the lengths to which he'll go to satisfy his many hungers. Well, two. Two hungers. He really only has the two.

Contains boorish villainy, laughable special effects, gratuitous wordplay, and puppet sexuality. Minimal audience participation. Except in one bit. Well, three. Three bits. But they're simple. And relatively painless.

Artist Bio:

Brodrick Jones always wanted to be a puppeteer when he grew up, but forgot that particular childhood dream until he was much older and had somehow fallen into it accidentally. Previous projects include two television pilots you've never heard of, dozens of short cabaret acts, and a long-neglected puppet web series he really should get back to.
