Ubu, The Conqueror: A Satirical Play in Two Acts

By Mr. Paul E. Doniger

Synopsis: In the year 3016, the pompous, self-indulgent, ignorant Ubu has been "elected" President of the Western Hemisphere. His ambitious, nagging wife convinces him, however, that it is not enough, egging him on to try to conquer the rest of the world. With the help of his staff of cronies and a very clever inventor, he begins planning to conquer the rest of the world, first Eurasia and then Austrafika. Much to his dismay, however, his previously expelled Conscience steps in and tries to stop him. Will he succeed in becoming President of the world, or will his conscience win out?
