In this radical and deliberately controversial re-reading of
Brecht, first published in 1989, Elizabeth Wright takes a new view
of the playwright, giving us a more 'Brechtian' reading than so far
achieved and making his work historically relevant here and now.
The author discusses in detail Brecht's principle theories and
concepts in the light of poststructuralist theory, and reassess the
aesthetics and politics with regard to Marxist critics of his own
day. Wright includes a re-reading of Brecht's early works, which
presents them in relation to a postmodern theatre, and gives
critical analyses of the work of Pina Bausch, Robert Wilson, and
Heiner Muller, who use the techniques of performance theatre,
showing how they deconstruct Brecht's distinction between illusion
and reality and point to a postmodern understanding of their
dialectical relation.
