Adolf with Pip Utton

Middlesbrough Theatre and Hall Garth Performing Arts present Adolf with Pip Utton.

The Fuhrer's bunker, Berlin 1945. The air is thick with betrayal as Hitler awaits the inevitable collapse of Berlin.

The 20th Century's most notorious tyrant is daringly and divisively brought to the stage in one of the most successful and powerful solo works ever presented. Pip Utton, looking uncomfortably like the Fuhrer, stands before a huge Nazi Banner addressing his party faithful. He furnishes his audience with an acute anatomy of fascism: its ideological justifications; its poisoned utopias. They are in the presence of an utterly compelling idealist, and are helplessly drawn in to his warped logic.

Hitler's final performance seems over as he settles into pre-suicidal contemplation. We know the rest...But Utton has reserved a sting for his tale...A sting so powerful that it pushes the audience into looking within themselves to question their own prejudices and intolerance.

This is live theatre at its best with a theme and subject that touches us all. It is powerful and challenging, illustrative and educational. It is utterly provocative and totally necessary. Everyone should experience it.

Contains strong language.
