Product Description

The most comprehensive and authoritative editions of Brecht's plays in the English language This sixth volume of Brecht's Collected Plays contains three plays he wrote while on the run in the early stages of the Second World War. 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
