This review is from: Brecht Collected Plays Volume 2 (A Man's a Man/ The Threepenny Opera/ Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny) (Paperback)

In this volume of the new [circa 1977], authorized translaton of the collected plays of Bertolt Brecht are three plays that he wrote in Berlin between 1925 and 1929 - including The Threepenny Opera, his most familiar and most performed work. The translations are edited by Ralph Manheim, winner of the National Book Award for translation, and John Willet, author od a standard work on Brecht. An introduction places these plays in the context of Brecht's total work and editorial notes give variant texts as well as Brecht's own notes and performance instructions.
