Arturo Ui the Bitch That Bore Her Is in Heat Again
Directed by Walt Jones
Don't yet rejoice in his defeat, y'all men!
Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard,
The bitch that bore him is in rut again.
~The Resistible Ascent of Arturo Ui, epilogue
Brecht'southward 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 center opener that was produced on Broadway with Christopher Plummer. The Cauliflower Trust in Chicago is in need of assist and turns to a racketeer by the name of Arturo Ui to brainstorm a "protection" entrada. His henchmen wait astonishingly similar Goebbels and Goring. Their activities include "accidental" fires and a St. Valentine's 24-hour interval massacre.
Ghosts of Paul Muni, Jimmy Cagney, and Edward Yard. Robinson will exist channeled with video clips of their famous gangster films Scarface, The Public Enemy, and Niggling Ceasar.

"Brecht was non, after all, the subtlest of writers, and "Arturo Ui" is not even among his subtlest plays. Written while Brecht was in exile in Finland in 1941, when the Nazis had consolidated their power and the war in Europe was under mode, "Arturo Ui" paints a blunt moving-picture show of a smug society easily corrupted and ultimately overtaken by a low-level hoodlum and his gang of thugs." — Charles Isherwood, Multifariousness
