Bertolt Brecht's reputation as a flawed, irrelevant or difficult
thinker for the theatre can often go before him to such an extent
that we run the risk of forgetting the achievements that made him
and his company, the Berliner Ensemble, famous around the world.
David Barnett examines both Brecht the theorist and Brecht the
practitioner to reveal the complementary relationship between the
two.This book aims to sensitize the reader to the approaches Brecht
took to the world and the stage with a view to revealing just how
carefully he thought about and realized his vision of a
politicized, interventionist theatre. What emerges is a nuanced
understanding of his concepts, his work with actors and his
approaches to directing. The reader is encouraged to engage with
Brecht's method that sought to 'make theatre politically' in order
to locate the innovations he introduced into his stagecraft. There
are many examples given of how Brecht's ideas can be staged, and
the final chapter takes two very different plays and asks how a
Brechtian approach can enliven and illuminate their production.
Ultimately, the book invites readers, students and theatre-makers
to discover new ways of apprehending and making use of Brecht.
