THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI

Directed by Todd McNerney at the Emmett Robinson Theatre, this dark satire from the College of Charleston Theatre Department reimagines the rise of Adolf Hitler, recasting the dictator as a fictional, small-time gangster who takes over Chicago’s greengrocery trade in the 1930s. Written by German playwright Bertolt Brecht in 1941, the show represents first-hand observations of Nazism, as well as modern-day instances of totalitarianism. Emmett Robinson Theatre at Simons Center for the Arts, 54 St. Philips St. Thursday-Saturday & Monday-Tuesday, 7:30pm; Sunday, 2pm. $25-$12. (843)953-6306, www.charleston.edu
