This book is a compilation of three plays written by Bertolt Brecht between 1939 and 1949: 'The Questioning of Lucullus', 'The Good Person of Szechwan' and 'Mr Puntila and his Man Matti'. These works are part of Brecht's 'Complete Theater' and reflect his theory of epic theater, which seeks to encourage critical reflection in the viewer through emotional detachment.
Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht, known as Bertolt Brecht and Bert Brecht, was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet. Coming of age during the Weimar Republic, he had his first successes as a playwright in Munich and moved to Berlin in 1924, where he wrote The Threepenny Opera with Elisabeth Hauptmann and Kurt Weill and began a lifelong collaboration with the composer Hanns Eisler. Immersed in Marxist thought during this period, Brecht wrote didactic Lehrstücke and became a leading theoretician of epic theatre and the Verfremdungseffekt.
