About: Bertolt Brecht

Brecht's plays - sharp political parables built on the principle that theatre should make audiences think, not just feel - have lost none of their edge since his death in 1956. The Berliner Ensemble, which he founded in East Berlin, continues to stage his work alongside contemporary productions, keeping his theatrical legacy alive at the heart of German culture.
