Reviews

For Brecht scholars the value of Lorena Ellis' study lies in its careful documentation of a re-reading of Brecht's work in a setting far removed from its original cultural context. Ellis' study makes apparent the non-colonizing way in which Brecht's theatre interacts with a highly developed and sophisticated local theatre tradition. Brecht and Brazilian theatre appear as equal partners in an evolving collaboration that changes Brazil's theatre as well as the way Brecht is staged/read in the 'first world'. (Robert Cohen, New York University)
