Cheek by Jowl's production of Ubu Roi will be screened live from the Gerald Lynch Theater, New York, where is it being presented as part of the 2015 Lincoln Center Festival.
King Ubu has seized control of Poland, Lithuania and everything in between, abetted by his equally monstrous wife. But an invading army soon threatens his petty dictatorship.
Cheek by Jowl directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod are reunited with their French cast, which includes Xavier Boiffier, Camille Cayol, Vincent de Bouard, Christophe Grégoire, Cécile Leterme and Sylvain Levitte.
The production will be screened live at 7PM UK time (2PM New York time) on Sunday 26 July on the web sites of Cheek by Jowl and its media partner The Telegraph.
