Beskrivning

This book presents to the reader a selection of the considerable amount of material written and published in relation to Heinz-Uwe Haus's productions of Brecht's plays and Brechtian productions by other dramatists, especially ancient Greek drama, in Cyprus and Greece since his production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle marked the launch of the Cyprus National Theatre in 1975 after the country's political turmoil that had culminated in the Turkish invasion. This includes material written by Haus at the time for his cast, announcements of the productions in the media, newspaper reviews and academic articles about the productions, conference contributions, and reflections by cast members (both professional actors and university faculty) and designers (set, costume, light, music). His work in Cyprus and Greece led to further collaborations on productions of ancient Greek plays across the world.

Recensioner i media

"[By] paying homage to a very special theatre-maker, this book will ensure that Uwe Haus's rich legacy is preserved for future generations wherever the art of the theatre is studied, and new productions are undertaken in pursuit of the elusive blend of "lyricism and societal truth.""Peter ZazzaliProfessor of Theatre, James Madison University
