Description:
Bertolt Brecht and the director Erwin Piscator developed epic theater in the 1920s because they found Western realism based on the perspective of a single individual inadequate to confront the realities of the 20th century. The epic stage juxtaposed actors and scenery with new media such as film, photography, and electronic sound. This book shows the epic tradition leading up to and through Brecht and on to the present by way of analyses of productions in the epic mode, and shows the continued relevance of the form.
