Marxism, Brecht and Epic Theatre

Abstract

In this piece, I will examine the relationship that Brecht shares with Marxism through
his life and its influence on his dramatic from. And I shall try to explore if the dynamism of
Marxism reflects itself in Brecht's 'epic theatre' or not. In other words, does the spectator
produce himself and his history during the course of the action and become a catalyst of change
in the real world or does he just stick to his position as mere a spectator?
