Reviews

"""well-researched and wide-ranging ... Lichtenberg's monograph [synthesizes] existing theatre-historical scholarship and more recent theatre theories to draw an unprecedentedly complete picture of Piscator's prominent role in twentieth-century theatre ... [and] the 1927-28 Piscatorbühne season with its mediatized productions as a precursor of postdramatic theatre.. This monograph ... examines how these productions influenced [Piscator's] own later documentary theatre, the plays of his contemporary Bertolt Brecht, and generations of subsequent theatre avant-gardists in the United States and Germany."" Modern Drama, by Markus Wessendorf, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa"
