The most comprehensive and authoritative editions of Brecht's plays
in the English language Volume Three of Brecht's Collected Plays
includes St Joan of the Stockyards - a play which recasts St Joan
as Joan Dark springing hope into the hearts of factory workers at
the mercy of meatpacker king Pierpont Mauler threatening cuts in
the Depression; and the Lehrstucke or short 'didactic' pieces
written during the years 1929 to 1933, are some of his most
experimental work. Lindbergh's Flight, The Baden-Baden Lesson on
Consent, He Said Yes / He Said No, The Decision,The Exception and
the Rule, and The Horatians and the Curiatians reject conventional
theatre; they are spare and highly formalised, drawing on
traditional Japanese and Chinese forms. They show Brecht in
collaboration with the composers Hindemith, Weill and Eisler,
influenced by the new techniques of montage in the visual arts and
seeking new means of expression. Also included is The Mother, based
on Gorky's novel about the progress of a factory strike in Tver and
the journey of a peasant mother from illiteracy to card-carrying
communism.The translators include H R Hays (The Horatians and the
Curiatians), Ralph Manheim (St Joan of the Stockyards), Tom Osborn
(The Exception and the Rule), Geoffrey Skelton (The Baden-Baden
Lesson on Consent), John Willett (Lindbergh's Flight;The
Decision;The Mother) and Arthur Waley (He Said Yes / He Said No).
The translations are ideal for both study and performance. The
volume is accompanied by a full introduction and notes by the
series editor John Willett and includes Brecht's own notes and
relevant texts as well as all the important textual variants.
