It is also known as the “private life of master race.” This is one of Brecht’s most famous plays and the first of his openly anti-Nazi works.
The play consists of a series of playlets, depicting national socialist Germany of the 1930s as a land of poverty, violence, fear and pretense. Nazi anti-Semitism is depicted in several sketches, including the “physicists,” the “judicial process,” and the “Jewish wife.”
More plays followed then, openly anti-Nazi plays attempted to analyze Marxism. They were written when Brecht was in exile in Denmark and inspired by a visit to Moscow, where he experienced the growing importance of the anti-Nazi movement there.
Eugene Bertold Friedrich Brecht (1898-1956), known as Bertold Brecht, was a German theatre practitioner, playwright and poet.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, Brecht first fled to Scandinavia. During World War II, he moved to Southern California, where he established himself as a screenwriter.
When Brecht fled Germany for Denmark in 1933, he began writing “The Fear and Misery of the Third Reich.” Infuriated by the rise of the Nazi dictatorship in his hometown, and so aware of the character of the Hitler regime, he attempted to create a work depicting the horror, oppression and violence of life in Nazi Germany.
It consists of 27 dramatic sketches (which Brecht believed could be done individually or together), and the work records the misery experienced under the daily lives of men and women and the Third Reich.
DA Theatre Hall will be holding the play until August 15th. It is located at No. 5, the first dead end, Kirk Street, Enkelab Street.
