The Great European Stage Directors Volume 2 cover

This volume offers an authoritative account of the work, lineage and legacy of Vsevolod Meyerhold, Erwin Piscator and Bertolt Brecht.

This volume surveys and assesses the contributions of Vsevolod Meyerhold, Erwin Piscator and Bertolt Brecht to theatre-making, which richly exemplify the range of ways that directors address dramatic material, theatrical space and their audiences. Their directorial work marks an unmistakeable interest in developing the political potential of theatre in the early 20th century, although each director offered more to their actors, collaborators and spectators than simply the staging of politics and the political.
