Summary
Brecht on Theatre is a seminal collection of essays by Bertolt Brecht, a pioneering figure in modern theatre. Translated by John Willett, this book offers profound insights into Brecht's revolutionary ideas on "epic theatre," a form that challenges traditional narratives and seeks to engage audiences intellectually rather than emotionally. It includes Brecht's reflections on drama, acting, and the role of the theatre in society, making it an essential read for students, scholars, and theatre practitioners seeking to understand the underpinnings of modern theatrical techniques.
