Pacino,Al

From 911Encyclopedia:

In October 2001, theatre play "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui", a political parable about Hitler's rise to power by Bertold Brecht, started on Broadway, New York. Al Pacino played Arturo Ui. Director Simon McBurney was inspired by the career of George Bush, as German critic Bernd Sucher pointed out that McBurney's Ui on occasion suggests George W. Bush. It inspired an article by Warren Leming: "The Resistible Rise of George Bush". Another article on another cast was by nytheatre.com review:

"With their riveting revival of Brecht's The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Fovea Floods theatre company once again reminds us what theatre is for. Led by director Josh Chambers, they've crafted a production that amplifies and illuminates the themes of this cautionary tale inspired by the rise to power of Adolph Hitler; they've also found ways to make the piece timely and resonant in the era of Osama bin-Laden and George W. Bush..." (Martin Denton. August 16, 2002)
