Tickets are $5 and are available at www.trybooking.com/UHWL. Be sure not to miss out! Please note, this production contains simulated violence.

“Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone.” – Alicia Witt

Chicago! A city of jazz and gangsters, prohibition and poverty! ‘The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui’ by Bertolt Brecht is a parable about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 30s, set in a curious pastiche of the gangster genre. This play is in many ways a warning from history – why do we continue to allow corrupt evil leaders to gain control over our communities? Come and see our talented year 11 and 12 Duncraig Drama students in this theatrical exuberant performance of this original Brechtian play.

Please Note* This Production contains simulated violence.

Director: Mrs Kellie Billingsley

THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI

By Bertolt Brecht

Rights provided by Alan Brodie Representation

“We get the leaders we deserve.”

Arturo Ui is a small-time gangster with a lust for power. In a city shaken by economic crisis and undermined by corruption, Ui keeps rising and rising until he reaches the very top. When he gets there, he won’t be breaking the law, he’ll be making it.

Written in 1941 as a cautionary satire on the rise of Hitler, Bertolt Brecht’s play is both thrillingly sharp and riotously funny. It has the wit, murder and musicality of a gangster movie while asking a very political question – how do we let a man like that come to power?

Artistic Director, Mrs Kellie Billingsley and the Year 11/12 Drama students bring a bold, visually inventive vision to this great play. This production promises to be a big, entertaining and thought-provoking night out.

The production dates are Wednesday 14th March and 15th March 2018, in the Duncraig Theatre at 7pm.

Tickets will go on sale two weeks before the commencement of these performances.

“Brecht’s anti-fascist study of political power hits home”.
