On today’s show: A new bilingual theater production is coming to Mount Allison University. The play, called UBU, was written by Alfred Jarry in the late 1890s, but professor emeritus Alex Fancy is giving it a modern update.
Fancy has been presenting bilingual plays for more than fifty years. It started as a way to give his students a way to incorporate a second language into their lives outside of the classroom. All these decades later, his students say it’s still working.
Plus in news briefs: Mount Allison is holding two information sessions about the upcoming renovation of the R.P. Bell Library; and 21 acres of land have been purchased for new housing, according to a press release from Freshwinds Eco-Village Housing Co-operative.
