Synopsis
Papa Turd, a grotesque, greedy man, who is hungry for power, is convinced by his wife to kill the king of Poland. There's a ghost, war, a bear, and everyone dies (classic). This absurd parody of Shakespeare's Macbeath, Hamlet, and King Lear shocked and offended audiences with how obscene it was when it premiered in Paris in 1896; hope you don't offended or entangled in the chaos.
