Brecht Sourcebook is an ideal companion to Brecht’s plays, and provides an invaluable reconsideration of Brecht’s influence and lasting legacy.

Stuart McDowell, Erika Munk, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernst Schumacher, Diana Taylor, Tadaschi Uchino,  Carl Weber, and Kurt Weill

‘There is no doubt that this book will prove a valuable companion to Brecht’s plays and affords an important re-evaluation of his work. It is no ‘coffee table book’, but a serious anthology for those anxious to probe the minds of some of the great thinkers amongst Brecht’s contemporaries.’ – Amateur Stage
