Marcus Montgomery Roche: Vote For Me

Synopsis:
My vote matters. My vote will change the world. Marxus is considering the upcoming referendum. He is considering how he will express his right to a vote. He is realising that he has no idea what to do. Is he really in control of his own destiny? Or does his fate depend on a democracy he doesn't feel part of? Buying votes is illegal, but is selling them. . .? In Vote for Me, the audience will vote on Marxus's behalf- regardless of his own political outlook, as he auctions off his vote to the highest bidder.

Ubu Roi

Synopsis:
Watch Ubu conquer Poland! Watch Ubu steal your money! Long Live King Ubu! In a flurry of unaccountability, King Ubu, as the frightfully indecisive everyman, brings an entire country to its knees. Based on Macbeth, this play outraged Parisian patrons at the turn of the 20th Century. Alfred Jarrys masterpiece gives two fingers to the establishment and brings out everyones ineffectual, accidental and megalomaniacal inner murderer.
