In this 1976 introduction to Brecht's theatre and theory, Ronald
Gray explores the dramatist's interacting roles as a committed
Marxist seeking to influence audiences and as one of the most
innovative craftsmen ever to work in the theatre. Dr Gray traces
the development of Brecht's dramatic work in the context of his
life and time and discussed its significance, devoting chapters to
reappraisals of the major plays. Particular attention is paid to
Brecht's dramatic theories and their relationship to Hegelian and
Marxist philosophy, to the tradition of political theatre in
Germany in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the
influence Brecht had on English and American post-war drama. There
are also detailed accounts of how many of the plays appeared in
Brecht's own productions, and frequent references to actual
performances in widely differing theatrical styles.
