Described by Brecht as 'a gangster play that would recall certain events familiar to us all', The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a witty and savage satire of the rise of Hitler – recast by Brecht into a small-time Chicago gangster's takeover of the city's greengrocery trade. Using a wide range of parody and pastiche – from Al Capone to Shakespeare's Richard III and Goethe's Faust – Brecht's compelling parable continues to have relevance wherever totalitarianism appears today.

Written during the Second World War in 1941, the play was one of the Berliner Ensemble's most outstanding box-office successes in 1959, and has continued to attract a succession of major actors, including Leonard Rossiter, Christopher Plummer, Antony Sher and Al Pacino.

This version, originally translated by George Tabori, has been revised by leading Scottish playwright Alistair Beaton. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/the-resistible-rise-of-arturo-ui-9781472566799/#sthash.2BiA0sS3.dpuf

A Cadela do Fascismo está Sempre no Cio

"Vocês, porém, aprendam como se vê em vez de olhar fixo, e como agir em vez de só falar. [...] que ninguém saia triunfando precipitadamente - é fértil ainda o colo que o criou!"

Alegoria da ascenção de Hitler num cenário de gangsteres de couve-flor em Chicago.
Bem escrito.
Não é minha favorita.
