The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

Times are bad. Prices are rising. House prices are falling. There's a recession looming. A new leader is needed. It's 1930s Chicago.

With a winning smile, a machine gun and an army of hoods, local crime boss and aspirational tyrant Arturo Ui sees an opportunity. He offers protection and freedom - at a very large price.

@CailleanSara

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.

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

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?"
