Brecht’s Search for New Theatre

Abstract

The paper explores how Brecht, the German poet-playwright employed different terms to introduce the concept of his envisioned theatre and then expressed his dissatisfaction with these terms while thinking they were unable to capture the complete sense of what he thinks about his type of theatre. The study focuses on the fluidity of Brechtian theatre as well as tries to discover the intents behind these changes that make Brecht an elusive writer and complex phenomenon.  It investigates the evolution of a new but fluid theatre and how his new type of theatre offers a rich variety of entertainment and instruction to the audience.
