The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui
CLASSIC STAGE COMPANY
“With a cast of wily, willing storytellers headed by a blisteringly good Raúl Esparza, John Doyle’s Arturo Ui is a sly, fearsome sideshow, a deceptively humble, hugely exciting piece of work.” – Sara Holdren, New York Magazine
“Full of such enlivening moments of actorly glee.
Every one of them is a pleasure to watch.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
ABOUT THE WORK :
“In 1930s Chicago, mobster Arturo Ui will stop at nothing to control the cauliflower trade. Terror and bloodshed follow. Can anyone stop him? Brecht’s skewering of Adolf Hitler and totalitarianism is given renewed significance in a production directed by John Doyle. Written in 1941, the play was one of the Berliner Ensemble’s greatest box office successes.”
