The latest volume in Methuen's Collected Brecht includes two plays
previously untranslated into English Volume 8 of Brecht's collected
plays contains his last completed plays, from the eight years between
his return from America to Europe after the war and his death in 1956.
Brecht's ANTIGONE (1948) is a bold adaptation of Holderlin's classic
German translation of Sophocles' play. A reflection on resistance and
dictatorship in the aftermath of Nazism, it was a radical new
experiment in epic theatre. THE DAYS OF THE COMMUNE (1949) is a
semi-documentary account of the Paris Commune, and Brecht's most
serious and ambitious historical play. TURANDOT is Brecht's version of
the classic Chinese story is a satire on the intelligentsia of the
Weimar Republic, Nazi bureaucracy, and other targets.
