The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

TaschenbuchKartoniert, Paperback
112 Seiten
Englisch
Bloomsbury Publishing PLCerschienen am16.12.2013
Described by Brecht as 'a gangster play that would recall certain events familiar to us all', The Resistible Rise of 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.This version, originally translated by George Tabori, has been revised by leading Scottish playwright Alistair Beaton.mehr

Kritik
The 1964 translation by George Tabori, souped up Alistair Beaton, fizzes with verbal pep and clever couplets ... there's never a dull minute ... We are wooed by relentless spectacle and our enjoyment is integral to the play's chilling kick. Daily Telegraph Alistair Beaton's shrewd tweaking of George Tabori's translation ... Guardian
