Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht's methods of collective experimentation, and his unique framing of the theatrical event as a forum for change, placed him among the most important contributors to the theory and practice of theatre. His work continues to have a significant impact on performance practitioners, critics and teachers alike. This revised and reissued book includes an overview of the key periods in Brecht's life and work; a clear explanation of his key theories; an account of his groundbreaking 1954 production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle; and an in-depth analysis of his practical exercises and rehearsal methods.
