Caesar Antichrist (French: César-Antéchrist) is a short 1895 play by the French writer Alfred Jarry. The third act is an early version of Jarry’s next play Ubu Roi; the main character of which Père Ubu appears here as the Antichrist. This play begins with a startling sequence of images of garbled Christianity from which Pere Ubu emerges as the new Messiah.
