'The Resistible Rise Of Arturo Ui' by Bertolt Brecht, adapted by Ralph Manheim
Directed by Lisa May - Feb / March 2010
'The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui' is one of Brecht's best known plays. It is an alarming and savagely hilarious
allegory of Hitler's rise to power, in which the Fuhrer is portrayed as charismatic Chicago gangster Arturo Ui,
endeavouring to seize the city's fruit and vegetable racket from top-dog Al Capone. He systematically seduces
the public and eliminates his political rivals in his bid for total domination. This is Political theatre
at its best and most powerful.
Six actor/musicians will play over fifty characters to bring this powerful story to life in
the true Bruiser physical style. Unnerving and scathing; the battle for political status and
the corruption of power still fill our newspapers in 2010. When credits crunch, to whom do we
turn? Arturo Ui offers protection and freedom - at a very large price.
