About the Play

Vitton

“Vitton” is adapted from the play “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui” by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht, written in 1941.

The play chronicles the rise of a fictional mobster, Vabesh Nath alias Vitton, and his attempts to control politics, mobilising the local business community by ruthlessly disposing of the opposition.

The original play by Brecht is believed to be a satirical allegory of the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany prior to World War II.
