The latest volume in Methuen’s Collected Brecht includes two plays previously untranslated into English Volume 8 of Brecht’s collected plays contains his last completed plays, from the eight years between his return from America to Europe after the war and his death in 1956. Brecht’s ANTIGONE (1948) is a bold adaptation of Holderlin’s classic German translation of Sophocles’ play. A reflection on resistance and dictatorship in the aftermath of Nazism, it was a radical new experiment in epic theatre. THE DAYS OF THE COMMUNE (1949) is a semi-documentary account of the Paris Commune, and Brecht’s most serious and ambitious historical play. TURANDOT is Brecht’s version of the classic Chinese story is a satire on the intelligentsia of the Weimar Republic, Nazi bureaucracy, and other targets.
