Chronicle blurb

The full review will be out later, but the blurb from Hurwitt is up:

Playwright Josh Costello and director Patrick Dooley update Alfred Jarry’s proto-absurdist “Ubu Roi,” turn the royalist putsch into an election, add comically rewritten songs and a few hilariously pertinent new candidates and come up with an outrageous, generally delightful and very funny 1 ¾-hour farce. If Shotgun Players’ annual free outdoor show has no other effect on the current campaign, it might provide a real boost for Paris Hilton’s shot at the White House.
