The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (PAST SHOW)

Friday, November 10, 2017 - 12:00am to Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 12:00am
Mainstage

Bertolt Brecht's witty satire of Hitler's rise to power in the style of a 30's Hollywood gangster movie.

Notorious gangster Arturo Ui bullies his way to dominance over 1930s Chicago in this biting satire of Hitler’s rise to power. Drawing inspiration from classic Hollywood icons such as James Cagney, Paul Muni, and Edward G. Robinson, this comedy by Berthold Brecht warns of what happens when a vain and violent fearmonger is allowed to go unchecked. With a live band, projected film clips and the witty language of Jennifer Wise’s fresh translation, faculty director Erik Pearson brings a modern twist to this timeless call for resistance.  

November 10–19, 2017:
Thursday–Saturday at 7:30 PM (Talk-backs after both Saturday performances)
Sundays at 3:00 PM
