André Marcon Stars in Trump-Inspired Ubu at Théâtre de Paris

At the Théâtre de Paris, André Marcon takes the title role in Alfred Jarry's Ubu, staged by Daniel Benoin as a parody that transposes the play's schoolboy farce to the United States, with Marcon's Ubu modeled on Donald Trump. The production is carried by Marcon's performance, while his fellow cast members, according to the review, lapse into excess and caricature. The staging adopts a parodic register throughout. The review credits the actor as the sole master on board the production, and judges that the farce is saved by his playing rather than by the work of his partners.
