This wide-ranging, detailed and engaging study of Brecht's complex
relationship with Greek tragedy and tragic tradition argues that
this is fundamental for understanding his radicalism. Featuring an
extensive discussion of The Antigone of Sophocles (1948) and
further related works (the Antigone model book and the Small
Organon for the Theatre), this monograph includes the first-ever
publication of the complete set of colour photographs taken by Ruth
Berlau. This is complemented by comparatist explorations of many of
Brecht's own plays as his experiments with tragedy conceptualized
as the 'big form'. The significance for Brecht of the Greek tragic
tradition is positioned in relation to other formative influences
on his work (Asian theatre, Naturalism, comedy, Schiller and
Shakespeare). Brecht emerges as a theatre artist of enormous range
and creativity, who has succeeded in re-shaping and re-energizing
tragedy and has carved paths for its continued artistic and
political relevance.
