Essential Videos on Brecht

Here is a selection of videos on Brecht’s theatre to compliment our brilliant content from Professor Tom Kuhn and Professor David Barnett. We begin with a documentary from the 1980s that has footage of Brecht’s contemporaries discussing his work and methods including his wife and long term collaborator Helene Weigel.

Finally, there is an example of a workshop that brings to life the Messingkauf Dialogues, as well as a look at some contemporary productions of key plays.
