The Death of Mother Courage

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  09 September 2022

Extract

There were nine of Brecht’s plays in the Moscow repertoires during the 1966-67 season — has any city in the world equalled this? Acceptance of Brecht was long in coming, however. There were some early Brecht productions in Moscow: The Threepenny Opera, directed by TaiVov at the Kamerni Theatre in January 1930; selections from Fear and Misery of the Third Reich, staged at the Lenin Komsomol in September 1941. Then nothing, until 1958. Brecht's plays were neither socialistic nor realistic enough for the Stalinist era.
