Synopsis
The Messingkauf Dialogues
$15.99
Bertolt Brecht - trans John Willett
Published by Methuen
Written between 1939 and 1942 these are the longest but in some ways
the most light hearted of all Brecht's discussions of theatre
Here Actor, Actress, Dramaturg (or literary adviser) and Electrician argue with the Brechtian Philosopher who wants to exploit their talent for his own purposes
The result is a lively debate about the place of art in society. This new edition also includes Brecht's own Notes as well as a Commentary
