Bertolt Brecht has long been recognized as one of the most important and influential playwrights of our century. This is the first volume in Areade's definitive edition of Brecht's complete dramatic work and contains three of his most important plays, all of which were writtem before Brecht left in exile from Germany. The Threepenny Opera, immortalized by Kurt Weill's music, is one of his most performed dramatic works. Based on John Gay's eighteenth-century Beggar's Opera, the play satririzes the bourgeois society of the Weiner Republic but is set in Victorian London's Soho. The main character in Baal, Brecht's first play, is perhaps his greatest antihero, a ruthless drunk, womanizing poet, and singer. The Mother, based on a novel by Gorky and set in Russia between 1905 and 1917, remains Brecht's best didactic play. It tells how an extraordinary working-class woman is drawn by her son into the revolutionary movement, charting with great irony her dawning political consciousnes.
Translated from the German by John Willett, Ralph Manheim, Peter Tegel, and Steve Gooch, the plays are accompanied by an introduction by Hugh Rorrison and a chronology of Brecht's life and work.
