desertcart.com: Brecht on Theatre: 9780809005420: Brecht, Bertolt: Books Review: Great insight into Brecht's theory on theater - This is an insightful text explaining Brecht's views on theater through essays and notes. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about Epic Theatre. Review: Brecht on the theatre: all you need - Pretty much everything that Brecht wrote on the theatre, his own, the theatre world around him, and the plays and dramatic theories of others. Anyone researching matters of Brechtian theatre according to BB need go to no other source. Especially interesting are the insights one might glean out by Brecht on how his rather idiosyncratic and ever-evolving ideas of the stage might be fitted into Stalinist socialism that he embraced.

informative and fun
Great for quotes by Brecht, and for understanding his version of absurdism, though ther are some strange "interviews" that don't accurately quote him, but thry are entertaining.

In Brecht's own words
An invaluable primary source for the study of Brecht and Political Theater. Brecht explains the fundamentals of his aesthetics, influences, theories, as well as the development of a rehearsal system. Essential for students of theater.

Brecht on Theatre: The Development of an Aesthetic
There is only one way to describe this book: Paperback gold. I am currently studying A-Level theatre studies and I couldn't ask for a better resource on Brecht than this. However, I don't think it is necessary to be a drama student to read this book. Obviously some background knowledge of Brecht is helpful when tackling some of the essays that he has written but if you have any kind of interest in the theatre then have a go with this, it's very well edited and above all it's really quite an easy read.
