The Complete Brecht Toolkit by Stephen Unwin

Availability: In stock.

£12.99

Quick Overview

The Complete Brecht Toolkit examines, one by one, Brecht's many, sometimes contradictory ideas about theatre - and how he put them into practice. Here are explanations of all the famous key terms, such as Alienation Effect, Epic Theatre and Gestus, as well as many others which go to make up what we think of as 'Brechtian theatre'.

The book also explores the practical application of these theories in Acting, Language, Music, Design and Direction.

Also included are fifty exercises contributed by Julian Jones, to help student actors investigate Brecht's ideas for themselves, becoming thoroughly familiar with the tools in the Brecht toolkit.


'one of the best introductory books on Brecht currently in circulation... Unwin [presents] the theoretical and practical ideas of Bertolt Brecht in a clear, concise and connected way so that students and practitioners may consider the importance of his work in the twenty-first century.' - A Younger Theatre

'a useful, refreshing, no-nonsense introduction to a practitioner who can be contradictory and is often misunderstood' - The Stage


For those of you who loved The Complete Stanislavsky Toolkit, this is a must for your bookshelf..

A practical, hands-on guide - for actors, directors, teachers and students - to Brecht's theory and practice of theatre, with a full set of exercises to help put theory into practice. This is the perfect 'go-to' reference for any Drama teacher, as well as a great text to help introduce your students to Brecht.
