Episode: Brecht: An Introduction
Pub date: 2020-03-11

Notes from The Intellectual:

Brecht saw theatre as a way of exposing social, political and historical - rather than individual and psychological - forces. He was against Stanislavski's realism, believing that theatre should render life strange to audiences for them to realise that the reality they inhabit is not a given, but the result of long processes; and thus alterable.

We discuss the life, work and ethics of Bertolt Brecht with Markus Wessendorf. Markus Wessendorf is a Professor of Theatre and the Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. He is currently the main editor of The Brecht Yearbook.
