Andrew Weil as Pere Ubu, the fat man who usurps the Polish throne, leads the whole menagerie. He bellows like a bull, whines like a hyena and eats like a pig. Mere Ubu (Virginia Morrs) comes on with a Bela Lugosi accent, smelling roses, swearing at her husband and slaying a mock army with a toilet brush. Sidney Goldfarb plays a Brooklyn Hamlet out to avenge his slain father with a plastic baseball bat. Everybody bellows and jumps around...
