Talk by Henry Adler
The German dramatist Bertolt Brecht has been the subject of a good deal of critical discussion lately, although very little of his work has so far appeared on the English stage. In the light of some recent Continental performances of his work, notably The Caucasian Circle of Chalk, Mr. Adler talks about Brecht's conception of drama in terms of epic and his doctrine of Verfremdungseffekt, or alienation.'
