Now available in Bloomsbury Revelations series, Brecht on Performance: Messingkauf and Modelbooks presents a selection of Brecht's principal writings about the craft of acting and realising texts for the stage. It crystallises and makes concrete many of the more theoretical aspects of his other writing and illuminates the practice of this hugely influential director and dramatist.

The volume is in two parts. The first features an entirely new commentated edition of Brecht's dialogues and essays about the practice of theatre, known as the Messingkauf, or Buying Brass, including the 'Practice Pieces' for actors (rehearsal scenes for classics by Shakespeare and Schiller). The second contains rehearsal and production records from Brecht's work on productions of Life of Galileo, Antigone, Mother Courage and others.

Edited by an international team of Brecht scholars and including an essay by director and teacher Di Trevis examining the practical application of these texts for theatres and actors today, Brecht on Performance is a wonderfully rich resource. The text is illustrated with over 30 photographs from the Modelbooks.

Arvustused

Brecht on Performance is a vital aid to English speakers in understanding Brecht as a theatre practitioner as well as what constitutes Brechtian performance. For the first time, a full edition of the unfinished Messingkauf translated as Buying Brass is available in English. [ This book] will allow Anglophone scholars and performance practitioners to revisit Brechts influence as a writer, theoretician, and theatre maker specifically, but also more generally the relationship between political thought and aesthetics, and between the theory and the practice of making art. * TDR: The Drama Review * These two volumes represent an excellent extension of Brechts writings in English. The editors draw on contemporary scholarship, apply high editorial standards, and offer a readability that opens up Brechts theories and practices for a new generation. -- David Barnett * New Theatre Quarterly *
