by Bertolt Brecht, music by Kurt Weill

Footlights and massive banks of pars were crucial lighting aspects used to create 

Brecht’s “alienation effect” that was required of Epic theatre.

 

The back wall was painted as newspaper headlines placing equal emphasis on 

“whores,” “thugs” and “politicians.”
