Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht 

Brecht as born 10th February 1898 in Germany. he was 16 when world war 2 broke out and he enrolled in a medical course in Munich in 1917. Having witnessed the war upfront Brecht was horrified and went to Berlin to pursue and acting career.

Brecht lived in Germany when Hitler was becoming chancellor, Brecht was a pacifist who didn't believe in war so the day after Hitler became chancellor he fled Nazi Germany.
Because Brecht had lived through many experiences that would make a person become very politically opinionated he showed many of his views in his work.

His style of theatre was so influential that it changed how some people approached theatre making forever. They felt that they would need a political message to relate to or teach the audience.
The intention behind the making of Brecht's plays was the complete opposite of naturalism completely. He wanted the audience to know that they are watching a play because he didn't want them to lose the ability to have a opinion on the political views he was trying to get across.
