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.
