  • "Written in 1941 just before Brecht's arrival in the USA, Arturo Ui is a parable of the rise of Hitler, who is recast by Brecht as a small-time Chicago gangster taking over the city's greengrocery trade."@en
  • ""Brecht's brilliant parable recasts Hitler's rise to pwower in terms of a small-time takeover of Chicago's greengrocery trade. Bertolt Brecht referred to The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui as his "gangster play." Written in a matter of three weeks in 1941 during Brecht's exile in Finland, it takes place in his favorite U.S. setting, Chicago, and satirizes Hitler's rise to power in terms of a small-time takeover of the greengrocery trade in that mythic city. A brilliant parable, it is at once a trenchant retelling of the past and a serious warning - that fascism did not pass with the defeat of Hitler - for the future. Commissioned and authorized by the Brecht estate, Arcade's definitive edition of The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui contains a translation by John Willett and an introduction by the joint editors of Brecht's collected works in English, John Willett and Ralph Manheim. The appendix provides Brecht's own notes and relevant texts as well as extensive editorial commentary on the genesis of the play." -- from website of Arcade Publishing (Nov. 1, 2010)."@en

  • "Arena Stage, Zelda Fichandler, producing director, Thomas C. Fichandler, executive director, presents Bertolt Brecht's "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui," translated by Ralph Manheim, directed by Carl Weber, settings by Karl Eigsti, costumes by Marjorie Slaiman, lighting by William Mintzer, incidental music and musical direction Herbert Kaplan, songs composed by H.D. Hosalla, technical director Henry R. Gorfein, Alan Schneider, associate director, Hugh Lester, associate producer."
  • "Described by Brecht as 'a gangster play that would recall certain events familiar to us all', Arturo Ui is a witty and savage satire of the rise of Hitler - recast by Brecht into a fictional, small-time Chicago gangster's takeover of the city's greengrocery trade in the 1930s. The satirical allegory combines Brecht's Epic style of theatre with black comedy and overt didacticism. 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.
