Bertolt Brecht was a prominent German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet known for his influential works during the Weimar Republic era. He achieved early success in Munich and later moved to Berlin, where he collaborated on significant productions like The Threepenny Opera. Immersed in Marxist ideology, he introduced the concept of epic theatre, focusing on the Verfremdungseffekt. Forced to leave Nazi Germany, he found refuge in East Berlin and established the Berliner Ensemble with his wife, solidifying his position as a key figure in the theatrical landscape.
