What’s old is new again in this fresh (and fascist) mash-up of two of the greatest dramatists of all time. Brecht’s Arturo Ui is the funny, sharp and thrilling take on the rise of Hitler shot through with Brecht’s razor-sharp wit. Pinter’s Party Time and New World Order paint a terrifying portrait of the culpable indifference of a privileged class, of the cruelty engendered in its members by political disruption, and of their merciless extinction of dissent. Using a wide range of parody and pastiche – from Al Capone to Shakespeare’s Richard III and Goethe’s Faust – Ui creates a hilariously comic and darkly condemnatory tale of the persistence of fascism and the inevitable rise of those unlikely leaders who rise to power by preying on the fear of the masses.
