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 small-time Chicago gangsters takeover of the citys greengrocery trade. Using a wide range of parody and pastiche - from Al Capone to Shakespeares Richard III and Goethes Faust - Brechts 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 Ensembles 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. Presented in Methuen Dramas Modern Classics series; this is the standard critical edition of the play featuring extensive editorial notes and an introduction.
