The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht, translated by George Tabori

The Cauliflower Trust in Chicago is in need of help and turns to a racketeer by the name of Arturo Ui to begin a “protection” campaign. Through his unique approach to theatre, Brecht uses this simple story to inspire critical thinking about and a reconsideration of Hitler’s rise to power. The questions are intense, but the work remains boldly theatrical and entertaining.

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
