Hitler meets Scarface meets Richard III!
Brecht's satiric parable of a two-bit gangster who rises to power over the vegetable trade in 1930's Chicago parallels the ascent of Hitler and provides a cautionary tale about how easily fascism can take root.
Written in iambic pentameter and filled with Shakespearean references, this story of a buffoon turned tyrant is compellingly relevant.
