We were in Dublin for a week last December. Saw this play. Absolutely brilliant. I "visit" the video every few months. Among other things, the play does a great job of answering the question, "How could this have happened?"
hey me too... prologue as well? im finding it so difficult to work out my stage direction grr... there is no actual character so it's hard to define things
The German production of Heiner Müller is over a hundred times more convincing than this one. The way Arturo Ui speaks here sounds almost trustworthily. That is exactly what Bertold Brecht wanted to avoid. He wanted a distanced view of things, by the distancing effect...
You entirely miss the point. A dramatic script is just that ... a script. The interpretation of that script is up to the director, not the writer of the script. The interpretation is valid if it supported by the script ... the script and nothing else. Whether that interpretation agrees with the original intention of the writer is irrelevant.
Absolutely brilliant- if you didn't get to see it, you really missed out. Tom Vaughan Lawler is out of this world. Great bunch! Two lucky gals to be amongst all those fellas!
Went to see this last week. Would love to have met the cast, they were absolutely fantastic. It helped me and the rest of my drama class understand the play so much more. :)
Went to see it last week. Good production. Good to see they're keeping up this new trend of making promo vids and a bebo page for Abbey plays. Keep it up!

This was the finest production I have ever seen in the abbey, If only they would bring it back for another run.

were studying it in drama and even watching this small clip has helped so much with understanding what Ui is like by the end of the play!
