THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF
OCTOBER 30 - DECEMBER 22, 2018
“The eight ensemble members here are delightfully resourceful. You could even imagine this version of Arturo Ui winning the flinty heart of its author for its imaginative interpretation of the Brechtian dictates of style and sensibility.”
– Ben Brantley, The New York Times
THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI
October 30 – December 22, 2018
at the Lynn F. Angelson Theater
BY BERTOLT BRECHT
TRANSLATED BY GEORGE TABORI
DIRECTED BY JOHN DOYLE
In 1930s Chicago, mobster Arturo Ui will stop at nothing to control the cauliflower trade. Terror and bloodshed follow. Can anyone stop him? Brecht’s skewering of Adolf Hitler and totalitarianism is given renewed significance in a production directed by John Doyle. Written in 1941, the play was one of the Berliner Ensemble’s greatest box office successes.
