Description
Ernst Toller's innovative plays have been unavailable in English since the 1920s and '30s. This collection brings together three groundbreaking works: Transformation, Masses Man, Hoppla, We're Alive!. Toller's revolutionary intensity infuses these stage-worthy plays, which inspired landmark productions and extended the language of theatricality. These plays capture the spirit of artistic and political combustion that defined Toller's life as a formative figure in the development of theatrical modernism. A preface by Charles Wood sets the context for this new translation, which brings Toller's work back into the modern repertoire. The book also includes 27 rarely seen production and design photographs, creating a vivid sense of modern theatre in the making. This collection is essential reading for contemporary theatre students, scholars, spectators, and practitioners who want to understand the development of theatrical modernism and its impact on the stage.
