The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui
Tuesday 16 June 2009 - Wednesday 17 June 2009
By Bertolt Brecht
Presented by Somerset College Performing Arts and The Operating Theatre Company
Times are bad. House prices are falling. Prices are rising. There’s a recession looming. A new leader is needed. It’s 1930s Chicago.
With a winning smile, a machine gun and an army of hoods, local crime boss Arturo Ui sees an opportunity. He offers protection and freedom - at a very large price.
Brecht’s both alarming and hilarious farce about the rise of a fascist dictator has all too many modern parallels.
This modern classic will have you laughing – then chill you to the bone.
‘If anyone’s not for me he’s against me
and has only himself to blame
for anything that happens…’
Not to be missed – you have been warned…!
