2:03 p.m., April 21, 2010----Delaware's Resident Ensemble Players ends the 2009-10 season with a “bang” in a world of gangsters, guns and cauliflower in Bertolt Brecht's The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, playing April 30 through May 16, in the Roselle Center for the Arts on the University of Delaware campus in Newark.
A Tony Soprano/Al Capone-like figure, Arturo Ui is a crazy but charismatic local gangster in 1930s Chicago bent on gaining power first in the Windy City's vegetable trade and then the world. Brecht created Arturo Ui as a wickedly entertaining farce that is a thinly veiled parable of the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany. Using music, dance, moving sets and a multitude of characters, director Heinz-Uwe Haus creates a wild romp of mobster madness.
Multi-talented actress, Carine Montbertrand, plays the role of Arturo Ui. She says, “Our production really sweeps the audience up with the rise of this character. We involve them in such a way that they become transfixed with Ui, and then, as Brecht intended, the audience has to stop and think about how they would have reacted to such a person and situation.”
Performances run from Friday, April 30, through Sunday, May 16, with a preview performance on Thursday, April 29. Tickets are $16 - $22, with discounts for students, seniors and University of Delaware faculty and staff. Tickets can be purchased by calling the REP box office at (302) 831-2204 or in person at the Roselle Center for the Arts, 110 Orchard Rd., Newark.
Performances for The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on April 29, 30 and May 1, 6, 8, 14, and 15; and at 2 p.m. on May 1, 2, 8, and 16.
Before the 2 p.m. performance on May 8 is the REP Prologue, a free and informal 20-minute presentation about the production, designed to enhance patrons' enjoyment and understanding of what they are about to experience. A talk-back with the cast will take place after the evening performance on May 13.
A complete schedule, directions, and information on purchasing tickets can be found at the REP's Web site or by calling the REP's box office at (302) 831-2204.
