Synopsis
Bertolt Brecht - Collected Plays 6
Published by Methuen
In Brecht's famous parable The Good Person of Szechwan, the gods come to earth in search of a thoroughly good person
The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a savage satire on the rise of Hitler, wittily transposed to gangland Chicago
Mr Puntila and his Man Matti is Brecht's finest comedy, built around the dual personality of its central character
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
