Brecht's series of twenty-four interconnected playlets describe events
which took place in ordinary German households in the 1930s. They
dramatise with clinical precision the suspicion and anxiety
experienced by ordinary people, particularly Jewish citizens, as the
power of Hitler grew. Written in exile in Denmark and first staged in
1938 it was inspired in part by his recent trip to Moscow where he had
been researching tasks for the anti-Nazi effort. This Student Edition
features an extensive introduction and commentary and includes: a
chronology of the Brecht's life and work; a synopsis of each playlet;
an introduction to the context of the play; commentary on themes,
characters, style and language; a review of the play in performance;
notes on individual words and phrases in the text, and questions for
further study.
