Were we prepared for the first sound queue of tonight's cultured night of theater? No. Were we pleasantly surprised to see actress Jessica Saxvik as Mrs. Ubu contort and screw her face into all the looks we imagine ourselves to possess the morning after a midnight run to Taco Bell? Yes. Are we wondering just where sound designer Brendan Monte got his source material for all the bodily functions we heard through the night (and maybe a little concerned for his physical health)? Probably. And let's face it are we also concerned for the mental health of all the minds involved in crafting Ubu II: Electric Boog-Ubu)? Obviously, but none of these questions stifled our enjoyment of this laugh a minute sequel to Alfred Jarry's slightly better known Ubu Roi.
