A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Drama
Bertolt Brecht, Paul Kriwaczek
Brecht's series of twenty-four interconnected playlets describe events which took place in ordinary German households in the 1930s. They dramatise with clinical precision the suspicion and anxiety experienced by Jewish citizens, as the power of Hitler grew.
The twenty-four scenes of this play could be regarded as playlets covering the years from 1933 to just before Hitler's entry into Vienna. Each is preceded and linked by a short verse, forming a sort of kaleidoscope of life under the Nazi dictatorship. The whole forms a horrifying picture of darkest tyranny, but is lightened by the ocassional gleam of defiance.
About 90 characters, male and female.
Interior and exterior settings.
