by BERTOLT BRECHT translated from the German by GERHARD NELLHAUS with Peter Woodthorpe Donal Donnelly
Anna Cropper , Sonia Fraser
This, one of Brecht's earliest plays, written between 1921 and 1924, presents a seemingly motiveless fight between a mysterious oriental and a young man who works in a library and is fond of quoting the poems of Rimbaud. Each tries to humble the other by earning his gratitude. Only in the end they realise the hidden meaning of their fight-it was an attempt to establish a human relationship.
