The Brecht Yearbook / Das Brecht-Jahrbuch, Volume 28: Friends, Colleagues, Collaborators

Stephen Brockmann

0/5 ( ratings)

Friends, Colleagues, Collaborators contains Bertolt Brecht and Fritz Lang’s never-before published German-language scenario 437, a treatment for what would eventually become Lang’s classic anti-Nazi film Hangmen Also Die. Brecht’s and Lang’s treatment clearly shows that their collaboration was far more intensive, and that Brecht’s influence on the film was more profound, than had previously been supposed. The text of 437 is accompanied by an introduction by James Lyon, the foremost expert on Brecht’s American period. Also included is an extensive interview with Eric Bentley, who helped introduce Brecht to America, plus an English-language version of Ekkehard Schall’s memoir Lessons of a Brechtian Actor . The other contributions to this volume revolve around Brecht and the sometimes controversial problem of artistic collaboration.
