- A History of the Berliner Ensemble is the first extended study of Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel’s hugely influential theatre company, established in 1949. This substantial monograph (at 528pp) challenges critical orthodoxies and presents a detailed history of the company as well as its contested legacies, offering new perspectives on Brecht’s working methods and those of the directors that followed him. The book is based on twenty months of meticulous research in the Berlin archives (funded by a British Academy Research Development Award, 2010-11) and was supported by an AHRC Fellowship and a Humboldt award.
