This volume presents for the first time in English Bertolt Brecht's major critical writing on the theatre and aesthetics. Here is his definition of the Epic Theatre, his theory of alienation-effects in directing, acting, and writing. He discusses The Threepenny Opera, Mahagonny, Mother Courage, Puntila, Galileo, and many other of his stage works. Also included is A Short Organum for the Theatre, Brecht's most complete statement of his revolutionary philosophy of the theatre.
