Theatre as Prison Therapy
They can imprison your body, man, but they can't lock up your mind. —anonymous prison performer, 1975 While theatre groups have been entertaining and conducting workshops in prisons for many years, it is only since 1973 that studies have been made to assess the therapeutic value of theatre programs connected to prison systems. Hard evidence is being amassed that theatre workshops for prisoners and ex-offenders significantly reduce the rate of re-…
Brecht's Mother Courage
Why Mother Courage and why still the Manheim translation over the Bentley? “Because Brecht was dead and Manheim was in Paris ” —Richard Schechner, tongue in cheek, coming off Tooth .

He who wins, of a sudden, some noble prize In the rich years of youth Is raised high with hope; his manhood takes wings; He has in his heart what is better than wealth. But brief is the season of man's delight. Soon it falls to the ground; some dire decision uproots it. —Thing of a day! such is man; a shadow in a dream. Pindar (Part of a Fifth Century ode written to celebrate a boy's victory in an Olympic wrestling match at Delphi.)
Notes on Theatre in West Germany
Any report on Olympic Theatre would be incomplete without mention of the tremendous amount of theatre activity generated throughout West Germany by the occasion of the Games. For the most part, this activity—some of it officially connected with the athletic events through a huge program called “Olympic Summer”—involved conventional theatre fare, ranging from productions of Brecht's Mother Courage, Büchner's Danton's Death, Wedekind's The Love Pot…
