Tonight, The Living Theatre presents a free reading of a new play: Zero to Infinity, by Al Schnupp. Alfred Jarry invented modern drama around 1890 when he wrote the opening line of Ubu Roi: “Sh!#!” Now, Al Schnupp has created a Pere Ubu for the 21st century! Obscenity is too good for us - the play opens with blather: “Zero, it’s time to get off your kadoodles! Soon you’ll be kaplutzed.” And so he does – Zero throws himself into a political career! The play proceeds with merciless humor. No one is spared – not the manager, not the lawyer, not the makeover consultant. They all spout nonsense that’s disgustingly familiar from the national news: “Air-punchers, wave-netters, and sieve-cloggers, thank you for coming. In just a splatz you will be introduced to Zero, man of the upcoming hour. This corker will porpoise the water with plans to reviggie Groad.” This is the first political farce of the Obama years! It’s too funny to be made up! You’ll laugh so you don’t scream!
