CSI:York is a week long festival in which youth theatres from York Theatre Royal, Riding Lights Theatre Company and Edinburgh Lyceum perform crime related drama. The hour long pieces include Ursula Rani Sarma's The Spider Men, Liz Lochhead's adaptation of Dracula, Just by Ali Smith, Sophocles' Oedipus and Antigone, Bertolt Brecht's The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui and Under the Knife devised by the Lyceum Youth Theatre. A small-time gangster chasing the city’s greengrocery trade, progresses through arson, murder, gang-warfare and cauliflower-crushing to become ‘the biggest gangster of them all’. A savage and witty parable of Hitler’s rise to power.
