    The figure of Galileo, whose 'heretical' discoveries about the solar system brought him to the attention of the Inquisition, is one of Brecht's most human and complex creations. Temporarily silenced by the Inquisition's threat of torture, and forced to abjure his theories publicly, Galileo continues to work in private, eventually smuggling his work out of the country

    A chronicle play of the Thirty Years War of the seventeenth century, the remarkable Mother Courage follows the armies back and forth across Europe, selling provisions and liquor to both sides from her canteen wagon. As the action of the play progresses, between the years 1624 and 1646, she remains indomitable in her profiteering, refusing to part with her wagon and her livelihood even as she loses her each of her three children to the conflict. The play demonstrates poignantly that those trying to profit from a war cannot escape its costs. First performed in Switzerland in 1941, it is regarded as one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century and one of the great anti-war plays of all time

    In this chronicle of the Thirty Years War of the 17th century, Mother Courage follows the armies back and forth across Europe, selling provisions and liquor from her canteen wagon. As the action of the play progresses between the years 1624 and 1646 she loses her children to the war but remains indomitable, refusing to part with her livelihood - the wagon. The play is one of the most celebrated examples of Epic Theatre and of Brecht's use of alienation effect to focus attention on the issues of the play above the individual characters

    Written in 1940 during Brecht's brief exile in Finland, Puntila is one of his greatest creations. A hard-drinking Finnish landowner, Puntila suffers from a divided personality - when drunk he is human and humane; when sober, surly and self-centred. Oscillating unsteadily between these two poles, Puntila plays havoc with his workmen, his women, his daughter's marital arrangements and the loyalty of his sardonic chauffeur, Matti. 'Mr Puntila and his Man Matti' contains some of the best comedy Brecht wrote for the theatre. It was first staged in Zurich in 1948

    This play chronicles the development and demise of the 'paradise city' of Mahagonny in a series of tableaux capturing the baser aspects of human nature. Three criminals create the city in order to trap money: it is a place of pleasure, where no-one works, everyone drinks, gambles, brawls and visits prostitutes, and all that matters is whether you can pay your way. A hurricane passing dangerously close to the city encourages complete lawlessness and debauchery, and soon the raving, delirious city destroys itself

    'Round Heads and Pointed Heads' began as an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure'. Commissioned in 1931 by stage and screen director Ludwig Berger, Brecht's ideas about the play soon took the work beyond straight adaptation, incorporating more and more elements of contemporary political satire. It tells the story of a racial conflict between two classes of citizens, those with pointed heads and those whose heads are round - both as abnormal as each other - in the fictional town of Luma. Written in the early 1930s, it finally received its premiere in Copenhagen on 4 November 1936, before being published in German in 1938

    'Saint Joan of the Stockyards' is set in a mythical Chicago. Brecht's Saint Joan is a Salvation Army lieutenant who challeges the power of Pierpont Mauler, the Meat King. The play is full of pastiche and parody and stems from the time of world economic crisis around 1929-32, a crucial period of creativity and political experiment for Brecht. However, it was never staged in his lifetime. 'Saint Joan of the Stockyards' was first produced in Hamburg in 1959, three years after Brecht's death

Brecht masterfully deploys this character in the Second World War as a counter-actor to the Nazi regime decimating Europe. He wrote it while in exile in the US during the Second World War

    Partly based on Synge's 'Riders to the Sea', 'Señora Carrar's Rifles' transposes the Irish play of the early 20th century to mid-century Andalucia. There, a fisherwoman named Teresa Carrar is trying desperately to maintain a normal life even as the civil war closes in around her; having killed her husband it proposes now to sweep up her two sons as well. Teresa hopes to insulate her boys from the fighting, believing she can keep her head down, sew nets and send the boats out, and the war need not touch them. But tragedy strikes her eldest on the waves, causing her to rethink her position of non-engagement. Written as an Aristotelian drama, based on empathy, rather than Brecht's own theories of Epic theatre, 'Señora Carrar's Rifles' is one of Brecht's more immediately accessible plays. It premiered in Paris, 1937

    A prologue set in Berlin of 1945 shows two sisters whose brother has deserted from the German army and is found hanged: should they risk being seen by the SS cutting his body down? In the play itself Creon becomes a brutal aggressor who has attacked Argos for the sake of its iron ore; Polyneikes deserts in protest against this war which has killed his brother; and Antigone is partly moved by a like disapproval of her uncle's policy. 'The Antigone of Sophocles' was conceived as a new experiment in the epic theatre, and is linguistically an extraordinary composition. It was first produced in February 1948

    In a prologue set in Soviet Georgia, a narrator introduces the story of choice and sacrifice. The servant girl Grusha sacrifices everything she has to look after an abandoned child, even marrying a dying peasant in order to provide for him. But when the boy's biological mother attempts to reclaim him, the unruly judge Azdak calls on the ancient tradition of the chalk circle to resolve the dispute. Brecht subverts an ancient Chinese story into a parable advocating that resources should go to those best able to make use of them. A morality masterpiece, the play powerfully demonstrates Brecht's pioneering theatrical techniques

    'The Days of the Commune' tells the story of the uprising and ultimate failure of the Paris Commune in 1871, a city council in France's capital which based its policies on socialism and proclaimed its right to rule over all of France. It held out for two months of counter-attack by the regular French army before its final defeat in May, 1871. Brecht's account of the Commune is based on Norwegian playwright Nordahl Grieg's play 'The Defeat'. In his adaptation, Brecht eschews a central protagonist, focusing instead on the Commune as characterised by the people in the street. It was first performed in November 1956, shortly after Brecht's death

  19. The Duchess of Malfi

    Brecht and Hays's adaptation of John Webster's 'The Duchess of Malfi' was born of a tortuous set of drafts, redrafts and recriminations, which led to several versions of the script, including a Broadway staging of a version by W.H. Auden. The idea was to eliminate the anticlimactic series of deaths at the end, tighten up the script and emphasize the implicit incest motivation of the Duke. This version of the script, written directly in English by Hays, with Brecht advising on story and structure, is complemented here by notes and letters by Brecht himself on how the play ought to be performed

    Originally written as part of 'Man Equals Man', 'The Elephant Calf' was later removed and redrawn as a play in its own right, to be performed as an interlude in the foyer during performances of the former play. It sees the protagonist of the earlier play undergo a trial for the murder of his mother. The play's farcical denouement is critiqued by 'audience members' - in fact, part of the cast - who storm the stage and insist on having their money back, with the threat of menaces to come if the cast don't accede

    The 'Exception and the Rule' is a parable about exploitation, telling the story of a rich merchant travelling across the desert and being increasingly cruel to his porter so they can travel as fast as possible. When their water supplies run low, the porter offers him a drink from his water bottle, but the merchant thinks he is being attacked by the porter, and shoots him. In the following courtroom scene, the brutal logic of the judge finds the merchant innocent because of his cruelty. The didactic Lehrstc͏̈ke (or 'learning-plays') were written during 1929 and 1930

    Brecht's famous parable pivots around a moral paradox - that in an unjust society good can only survive by means of evil. Through the sharply split personality of the central character Shen Teh / Shui Ta Brecht points to the impossibility of living anything like a 'good' life in a corrupted and persistently exploitative world. 'The Good Person of Szechwan' was first performed in Zurich in 1943

    Based on Christopher Marlowe's classic play, The Life of Edward II of England dramatizes the life of the king who was deposed and eventually murdered by his wife and her lover. Edward's treatment of his favourite courtier, Gaveston, causes discontent among the English nobles, and provokes the Queen's jealousy. She and her lover, Mortimer, raise an army, intending to put her son on the throne. Although Brecht used Marlowe's play as a source, he envisioned Edward II as a challenge to German Shakespearean traditions, which he considered stodgy and middle-class. It premiered in Munich in 1924

    'The Measures Taken', first produced in 1930 in the Grosses Schauspielhaus, Berlin, is a didactic parable showing how dedication to an idealist cause sometimes does not leave room for a response to individual suffering. Four 'Agitators' describe how they were forced to kill a 'Young Comrade' because of his susceptibility to pity and compromise. The didactic Lehrstc͏̈ke (or 'learning-plays') were written during 1929 and 1930, and show an abrupt rejection of most of the trappings of conventional theatre
