Published by Methuen Drama, the collected dramatic works of Bertolt
Brecht are presented in the most comprehensive and authoritative
editions of Brecht's plays in the English language. The seventh volume
of Brecht's Collected Plays contains the plays which Brecht wrote
during his six-year stay in the United States from 1942 to 1948. The
Visions of Simone Machard is a French resistance version of the Joan
of Arc story. Schweyk in the Second World War transposes Hasek's 'good
soldier' to the Prague of Hitler and Heydrich. The Caucasian Chalk
Circle, based on the biblical story of the judgement of Solomon, was
originally written for production on Broadway, with W. H. Auden
responsible for the verse. A morality masterpiece, the play powerfully
demonstrates Brecht's pioneering theatrical techniques and has since
become one of his most popular works. The translations are ideal for
both study and performance. The volume is accompanied by a full
introduction and notes by the series editor John Willett and includes
Brecht's own notes and relevant texts as well as all the important
textual variants.
