Drew Lichtenberg. The Piscatorbühne Century: Politics and Aesthetics in the Modern Theater after 1927

Abstract

This monograph discusses Piscator’s early career, contexts, and concepts leading up to his four intermediated stage productions of 1927–28. It examines how these productions influenced his own later documentary theatre, the plays of his contemporary Bertolt Brecht, and generations of subsequent theatre avant-gardists in the United States and Germany.
