Bertolt Brechts 1941 literary shot-across-the-bow at the Nazi takeover, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui recasts Hitlers rise to 1930s Chicago where a gangster methodically pulls the greengrocer trade into a stranglehold. Terror and bloodshed follow can anyone stop Arturo Ui? This play is a sly, fearsome sideshow, a deceptively humble, hugely exciting piece of workIts Richard III meets Jimmy Cagney by way of the vaudeville circuit its both rollicking and frightening (New York Magazine). Brechts skewering of Adolf Hitler and totalitarianism is given renewed significance in 2022 America, forcing us to look at what makes men like Ui so irresistible in the first place.
