Bertolt Brecht Manuscripts Discovered in Switzerland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previously unknown manuscripts of Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956), influential 20th century poet and playwright, have been recently discovered in Switzerland and delivered to the Brecht Archive at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. The playwright with arguably the most influence in shaping modern theater in the twentieth century, Brecht is a controversial social critic while at the same time his works entertain. The year 2006 is \u201cBrecht year\u201d, with many venues commemorating 50 years since his death. An article about the discovery of the manuscripts is available from\u00a0Deutsche Welle<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, as well as\u00a0other articles<\/a>\u00a0on his life and works.<\/p>\n
