A collection of previously unpublished texts from major unfinished dramatic projects dating from all periods of Brecht's creative life.
About the Author
Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) is acknowledged as one of the great dramatists whose plays, work with the Berliner Ensemble and critical writings have had a considerable influence on the theatre. His landmark plays include The Threepenny Opera, Fear and Misery of the Third Reich, The Life of Galileo, Mother Courage and Her Children and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. Tom Kuhn is a Fellow of St Hugh's College, University of Oxford. He is the author, editor and translator of numerous works on and by Brecht, and is General Editor of Bloomsbury Methuen Drama's Brecht publications.
Reviews
Certainly unique ... While this is undoubtedly a tome published with academics and Brechtian completists in mind, the plays themselves are insightful and readable. As such, general readers and students also have a chance to get a further insight into the brain of a unique genius and, who knows, perhaps at some point a reader might be inspired to produce one or more of these plays? * British Theatre Guide *
