This is an alarming and savagely hilarious tale of Hitler's rise to power, in which the Fuhrer is portrayed as charismatic Chicago gangster Arturo Ui, endeavouring to seize the city’s fruit and vegetable racket from top-dog Al Capone. He systematically seduces the public and eliminates his political rivals in his bid for total domination.

Six actors play over fifty characters to bring this powerful story to life in true Bruiser style.

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is one of Brecht's best known plays and is widely regarded as political theatre at its best and most powerful. Tickets are priced from just 6 each.

Meanwhile, Martin Lynch, playwright of The History Of The Troubles (accordin’ to my Da), brings his acclaimed play, ‘Chronicles Of Long Kesh’ to Theatre at The Mill on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 March.

‘Chronicles’ is Lynch’s hilarious take on the mad side of life in Long Kesh/The Maze Prison from its opening in 1971 to the day it closed in July 2000. Ticket prices start at 10.

Tickets for both shows are available online at www.theatreatthemill.com or from the box office on 9034 0202.
