The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht, Olivier Theatre, 18 January 1992

This was the first of two visits to the Olivier Theatre with Bobbie in the space of 48 hours. Go figure.

Superb cast, headed by Tony Sher but also with Michael Bryant, Sally Rogers, Peter Wight, Anthony O’Donnell, Karl Johnson, Adrian Scarborough…

…oh my giddy goose, what a cast.

Here is a link to the Theatricalia entry.
