David Barnett will introduce students to the theatre of Bertolt Brecht, one that sought to expose political relationships in society and invite the audience not just to engage with them, but to intervene in them, too. David will address Brecht’s theoretical ideas and examine how they can be put to use in the context of real theatre practice.
