Alfred Jarry Round Table

Jarry died one hundred years ago. A delicate and strange Symbolist poet and writer, he is mostly known for giving to Literature the monstruous character of Ubu. He was also the creator of a new science called 'Pataphysics'. A round table discussion between scholars and Pataphysicians will be followed by readings from selected Jarry texts by actors from RADA.

Chaired by Professor John Stokes (King’s College, London) with Stanley Chapman, Jill Fell, Ben Fisher and Linda Stillman.
