Bertolt Brecht: He Made Suggestions

- Presents a bibliographic portrait of one of the most revolutionary of all theatrical innovators. His theory of epic theatre changed dramatic practice in the 20th century. Examines his life and work, showing his literary and social roots. He continuously pursued new ways in making theatre audiences more intellectually alert while counteracting emotional over-involvement. Explores how his works, both in theatre and in poetry, mirrored the troubles of the age in which he lived. Shows how his wife, Helene Weigel, contributed to his work and to the founding of the Berliner Ensemble. Includes hitherto unknown footage of the Berliner Ensemble.
