Brecht Plays: Life of Galileo / The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui / The Caucasian Chalk Circle (World Dramatists)

bertolt-brecht

Methuen Publishing, Ltd.

Written in 1940 during Brecht's exile in Finland, Puntila is one of his greatest creations - to be ranked alongside Galileo and Mother Courage. A hard-drinking Finnish landowner, Puntila suffers from a divided personality: when drunk he is human and humane; when sober, surly and self-centred. The play contains some of the best comedy Brecht wrote for the theatre.This translation by John Willett is accompanied by Brecht's own notes and relevant texts, as well as an extensive introduction and commentary by John Willett and Ralph Manheim, editor's of Brecht's collected plays in English.

<p>The most definitive, comprehensive study of the origins, development, achievements and ultimate destruction of the performing arts in Germany from World War I through the rise of Hitler, "" The Theatre of the Weimar Republic "" is an invaluable record of creativity born out of conflict. John Willett focuses on the intellectual and sociocultural factors that brought Weimar theatre to its peak and analyses the theatrical theories and movements of the era. In addition, he includes a unique section of appendices, spanning 1916 to 1945, supplementing the text and providing detailed information on theatres, actors, performances, films, and radio and gramophone recordings. The theatre during this period was marked by bold, innovative playwrighting and directing as well as by important advances in theatrical architecture, lighting, and stage design. Renowned talents such as Brecht, Piscator, Toller, and Weill were nurtured, and influential movements and credos -- including Expressionism, agitprop, and Bauhaus theatre projects -- developed. A rigorous, fascinating assessment of the world-wide influences of Weimar theatre during its lifetime and in later years, the book will appeal to all readers interested in the art and politics of this turbulent period.</p>
