About the Show

Cave Theatre Co. presents Bertolt Brecht’s seriocomic parable about corruption and fascism in the '30s Chicago vegetable trade.

The place is Prohibition-era Chicago, and the once-powerful Cauliflower Trust is in serious trouble: Can they place their fate in the bloodstained hands of the Windy City’s most notorious gangster, Arturo Ui? Brecht's classic cautionary tale warns of authoritarian figures coming to power. Could a dire warning about the rise of a strong-arming populist demagogue still be relevant today?
