Brecht Project

In May, Year 10 and 12 German students visited the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith to see a modern adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s famous play “Der Gute Mensch von Sezuan” – “The Good Person of Szechwan”. This led to the Brecht Project, in which students came together to reflect on Brecht’s theatre, his challenge of conventions, and the relevance of the play for today’s audiences. The result: A podcast – the first in a series of podcasts to be held this academic year around Brecht.
