d. 8-14-1956

Brecht, poet, playwright, and theatre director, was a Marxist committed to the theatre as a stage for political and social ideals. His work "The Threepenny Opera" is a socialist view of the capitalist world, written with composer Kurt Weill, and based on the 1728 John Gay work, "The Beggar's Opera".

One of Brecht's most performed plays is about the 16th century physicist Galileo and explores the themes of dogmatism, scientific evidence, and "constancy in the face of oppression."
