German poet, playwright, and theoretician, Bertolt Brecht-author of such famous works as The Threepenny Opera 1928 and Mother Courage and Her Children 1938-was a committed Marxist who proposed a new theater to shatter what he saw as the comfortable middle-class conventions of both tragic and realist drama.

What an incredible piece of history! Do you want to witness Bertolt Brecht making a Brechtian play of real life? Listen to this! Also, the balls on this guy to stand up in front a bunch of bloodthirsty red-bating senators and fuck with them so openly. Fuck yeah! What a badass!

Also, as a bit of a side note, the last part where the senators are like conspiratorially going over the crappy translation of the "taking the lead" or whatever eerily reminds me of the satanic panic in the 80's when reactionary fear-mongering politicians were playing Slayer songs backwards or whatever to prove the US was being infiltrated by child-sacrificing satanists. Oh the irony. It's like we never change.
