«Mann ist Mann» is the play by Bertolt Brecht, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (99 pages, in German).
The play follows Galy Gay, an Irish stevedore living in India who, after a series of comic and absurd mix-ups, is transformed by soldiers into the replacement for a missing comrade. In the process, Galy Gay loses his original identity and ends up as just another cog in the military machine.
1973 edition. The full registered title is «Mann ist Mann, Die Verwandlung des Packers Galy Gay in den Militärbaracken von Kilkoa im Jahre neunzehnhundertfünfundzwanzig», subtitled «Lustspiel».
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.
