Using a wide range of parody and pastiche - from Al Capone to Shakespeare's Richard III and Goethe's Faust - Brecht's compelling parable continues to have relevance wherever totalitarianism appears today.Written during the Second World War in 1941, the play was one of the Berliner Ensemble's most outstanding box-office successes in 1959, and has continued to attract a succession of major actors, including Leonard Rossiter, Christopher Plummer, Antony Sher and Al Pacino.This version, originally translated by George Tabori, has been revised by leading Scottish playwright Alistair Beaton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52109758824736,"sku":"NEW1472566572","price":21.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71i4MXpFkgL._SL1200_QL70.jpg?v=1785991238","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-resistible-rise-of-arturo-ui-modern-plays-1472566572","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
