Work by Grant Guy.

"Grant Guy's theatre/ performance activity has generally been identified with Brechtian aesthetics. However, he has lately been reacquainting himself with performance notations derived from Alfred Jerry, Samuel Beckett and Antoin Artaud. The re-evaluation of approach has resulted in some changes in his work. UBU TOO reflects these changes and also introduces the use of a 'performance clown,' Dok, a character Guy has been developing in his most recent works."
