for readers and students wanting a rich appreciation of the
development of Brecht's thinking on theatre and aesthetics. First

re-edited and expanded text produced for the 50th anniversary of the

translated, this edition provides a far fuller and more accurate
account of the development of Brecht's work and writings. This edition
features: * Clearer layout and organisation of the text * New
translations of many of the Brechtian texts featured * Over 40 new,
previously untranslated essays * Essay titles now correspond to the
German originals * A revised selection of illustrations This selection
of Bertolt Brecht's critical writing charts the development of his
thinking on theatre and aesthetics over four decades. The volume
demonstrates how the theories of Epic Theatre and Verfremdung evolved,
and contains notes and essays on the staging of The Threepenny Opera,
Mahagonny, Mother Courage, Puntila, Galileoand many others of his
plays. Also included is 'Short Organon for the Theatre', Brecht's most
complete statement of his revolutionary philosophy of the theatre.
