The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

Recession has come home in leafy Greenwich. The half-human, half-cauliflower grocers are growing greedy and plead with the trusting Dogsborough for a bail out. Meanwhile in the shadows lounges the lazy Arturo Ui, grumpy and disconsolate with his lack of influence. In the hearts of the devious grocers he spies a chance for power. Abetted by the brutish Roma and the seedy Givola, Ui begins his bloody and resistible rise.

Brecht’s parody of Hitler’s rise, originally set in the cauliflower racket of Chicago, is brought up to date and into Greenwich. ‘After all, a man needs his green goods’ – Dogsborough
