The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

By Bertolt Brecht

Translated by George Tabori and Revised by Alistair Beaton

Directed by Leah Mercer

Meet Arturo. Gangster? Businessman? Politician? Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference. He’s a song and dance man, as in he’ll sing you a song while he twerks on your grave. The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Brecht’s parable play about the rise of Hitler, explodes onto the stage in a pop culture frenzy of violence and lip synching. Welcome to Brecht for a meme generation! Resistance is futile. Or is it? #faketheatre
