The Resistible Rise Of Arutro Ui
By Bertolt Brecht
Translated by George Tabori
Directed by Peter Andrews
A witty and savage satire of Hitler’s rise to power, telling the story of gangster Aruto Ui as he seizes control of the vegetable trade in 1930s Chicago. With echoes of Charlie Chaplin, Al Capone, Shakespeare and Goethe, Brecht’s compelling parable continues to have relevance wherever totalitarianism appears today.
Contains threat and stylised violence.
