Examines the life and work of Bertolt Brecht, the German poet, playwright, and theatrical reformer who developed the drama as a social and ideological forum. Includes excerpts from his plays Mother Courage and Her Children, The Life of Galileo, The Good Woman of Setzuan, and Antigone. Discusses A Little Organum for the Theater, in which Brecht explained his theory of "Epic Theater," which encourages spectators to view performances as scientific analyses of human behavior, rather than illusions of reality.
