Om denne e-bog
Here's some advice:
Don't ever underestimate Arturo.
You'll be found out and stopped, eventually,
Just like I stopped this fuckin' treachery
And better late than never. Now ya see
What happens when ya fuck with me, ya lousy
Rat-fuck bastards?
Chicago. A city of jazz and gangsters, prohibition and poverty. Amongst the murk of the Great Depression, there's room for a small time crook like Arturo Ui to make a name for himself.
Ui and his henchmen just want to look after you, to offer protection for workers, for jobs, for businesses. Nothing to fear. But a little bribery here, some harmless corruption there, and soon something much more dangerous takes hold.
Brecht's satirical masterpiece about the rise of a demagogue has been adapted by Pulitzer, Olivier and Tony award-winning American playwright Bruce Norris. It was published for the world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, which opened on 21 April 2017 starring Lenny Henry.
