(19**-19**) German socialist playwright. The influence of his plays and his theories on political theatre (including political [[cabaret]], epic theatre, the “gestus”, “Verfremdung” etc.), have been enormous in South Africa. On the one hand he has been an extremely popular playwright with [[Afrikaans]] theatre companies. Perhaps one of the most memorable performances being Anna Neethling-Pohl’s portrayal of ''[[Moeder Courage]]'' in 19**, while his influence on [[Hennie Aucamp]] and the rise of Afrikaans political [[Kabaret]] ([[cabaret]]) in the 1980s was immense. His notions of political theatre have also most noticeably influenced numerous English companies and authors, including [[Athol Fugard]] and the [[Serpent Players]], [[Barney Simon]] and [[The Company]], [[Malcolm Purkey]], [[Mbongi Ngema]] and [[Junction Avenue Theatre Co]] and [[William Kentridge]] in his work with the [[Handspring Puppet Company]]. By the 1990s – as elsewhere - his reputation had declined somewhat, though the occasional production was still being done and the influence in terms of technique remains.
