Brecht on Theatre is a seminal work that has remained the classic text
for readers and students wanting a rich appreciation of the
development of Brecht's thinking on theatre and aesthetics. First
published in 1964 and on reading lists ever since, it has now been
wholly revised, re-edited and expanded with additional texts,
illustrations and editorial material, and new translations. The
resulting work is a far fuller and more accurate volume that will
provide readers with a clearer and more rewarding understanding of
Brecht's work and writings. This updated third edition features: *
Clearer layout and organisation of the text to facilitate study * 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, Galileo and 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.
