{"product_id":"9781472566577","title":"The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (Modern Plays)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDescribed by Brecht as 'a gangster play that would recall certain events familiar to us all', The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a witty and savage satire of the rise of Hitler – recast by Brecht into a small-time Chicago gangster's takeover of the city's greengrocery trade. 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":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48254567153899,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":32.87,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781472566577-1.jpg?v=1781682112","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781472566577","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
