Bertolt Brecht
Translated by George Tabori Drama
Characters: 30 male, 5 female
Brecht's shudderingly accurate parallel between Hitler and his
henchmen on the one hand and the old crime lords of Chicago on the
other is a vigorous eye opener that was produced on Broadway with
Christopher Plummer. The Cauliflower Trust in Chicago is in need of
help and turns to a racketeer by the name of Arturo Ui to begin a
"protection" campaign. His henchmen look astonishingly like
Goebbels and Goring. Their activities include "accidental" fires
and a St. Valentine's Day massacre. "A wild and grotesque sort of
clown show, with everything seen through a distorting mirror...An
ideal vehicle for a director who knows how to shoot the work in his
staging." -The New York Post
