Arturo Ui is a small-time gangster, down on his luck but with a grand vision. 

And he'll stop at nothing to get it.

​

"Know that if you are not with me, completely,
Then you are against me, entirely.
There is no f*#@ing fence for you to sit on."

Written just before the outbreak of World War II, Brecht's cautionary satirical take on the rise of
Adolf Hitler resonates just as sharply today as it did then, forcing us to question our every thought.
Is it possible that Hitler could have been prevented?
Can we prevent history from repeating?
Have we learned our lesson?

Australian vernacular of that period.
