Hi!

Em... is there any chance of getting some Brecht? I studied some of his plays in college and really liked his style. i'd like to be able to read some more of his work and discuss them with other people.

Thanks!

Niamh :)

Pretty much all of his works/plays were either written or produced *after* 1923 (basically works published before that date are in public domain re: U.S. copyright law, works after that are protected)

Brecht - great dramatist but awful human being. Robert Bolt was a playwright who took Brecht's concept of alienation on board and it contributes a great deal to the success of his play 'A Man For All Seasons'. I saw a terrific performance of it last year.
