This Student Edition of Brecht's classic satire on the rise of
Hitler features an extensive introduction and commentary that
includes a plot summary, discussion of the context, themes,
characters, style and language as well as questions for further
study and notes on words and phrases in the text. It is the perfect
edition for students of theatre and literature.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 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.
