Now available in Bloomsbury Revelations series, Brecht on
Performance: Messingkauf and Modelbooks presents a selection of
Brecht's principal writings about the craft of acting and realising
texts for the stage. It crystallises and makes concrete many of the
more theoretical aspects of his other writing and illuminates the
practice of this hugely influential director and dramatist. The
volume is in two parts. The first features an entirely new
commentated edition of Brecht's dialogues and essays about the
practice of theatre, known as the Messingkauf, or Buying Brass,
including the 'Practice Pieces' for actors (rehearsal scenes for
classics by Shakespeare and Schiller). The second contains
rehearsal and production records from Brecht's work on productions
of Life of Galileo, Antigone, Mother Courage and others. Edited by
an international team of Brecht scholars and including an essay by
director and teacher Di Trevis examining the practical application
of these texts for theatres and actors today, Brecht on Performance
is a wonderfully rich resource. The text is illustrated with over
30 photographs from the Modelbooks.
