actorsworkshop returns to the stage with an incredible tale of power, corruption, greed, misguided logic and a chillingly relevant message for modern audiences.The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui Thursday 29th and Friday 30th July 2010 Llanover Hall Arts Centre 7.30pm Tickets: £6 (adults) £5 (concessions - proof required) Directed by: Jamie Lee Assistant Director: Gary Knowles Box office: www.ticketsource.co.uk/actorsworkshop 'Something's rotten in the state of Illinois!' The once renowned gangster, Urturo Ui, is forging his way back into power with the help of his right hand man, Ernesto Roma and a mob of eagerly awaiting men. What does this mean for the vegetable dealers and the financial district of Chicago? What ensues is a sometimes brutal, sometimes comi c! and sometimes shocking piece of epic theatre with a twenty-first century twist. actorsworkshop's latest production is the most ambitious to date. Following the success of 'Roberto Zucco' last year, they've decided to return with a fifteen strong ensemble cast working on one of Brecht's most fascinating of plays. Director, Jamie Lee, stated 'this play has continued to fascinate me for some time. A play that is still absolutely as relevant today as it was when first written; full of comedy, horror, tragedy and more! The play has been a fantastic challenge for the group - with only fourteen rehearsals to get the production ready! But I'm positive that a little pressure can work wonders...' Ensemble cast: Cian Marc Chris Gordon Rosie Cripps Michael Freeman Geraint Nott Nina Gobat Dina Mufti Correana White Rachel Fenwick Scott Suter Ben Lloyd Jo Goodwin Gwyneth Thomas Nicola Mardon Vicky Pope |
