BBC Radio 4 „In our time“: Bertolt Brecht

Logo BBC bei Wikimedia Commons„Melvyn Bragg and guests dis­cuss one of the great­est Euro­pean play­wrights of the twen­ti­eth cen­tu­ry. The aim of Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956) was to make the famil­iar ‘strange’: with plays such as Moth­er Courage and The Cau­casian Chalk Cir­cle he want­ed his audi­ence not to sit back but to engage, observe and dis­cov­er the con­tra­dic­tions in life, and act on what they learnt. He devel­oped this approach in tur­bu­lent times, from Weimar Ger­many to the rise of the Nazis, to exile in Scan­di­navia and Amer­i­ca and then post-war life in East Berlin, and he has since inspired drama­tists around the world.
With Lau­ra Bradley (Pro­fes­sor of Ger­man and The­atre at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Edin­burgh), David Bar­nett (Pro­fes­sor of The­atre at the Uni­ver­si­ty of York), and Tom Kuhn (Pro­fes­sor of Twen­ti­eth Cen­tu­ry Ger­man Lit­er­a­ture, Emer­i­tus Fel­low of St Hugh’s Col­lege, Uni­ver­si­ty of Oxford).“
