"Piscator is the greatest theatre man of our time." Bertolt BrechtJudith Malina and The Living Theatre have been icons of political theatre forover six decades. What few realise is that she originally studied under one of the giants of twentieth century culture, Erwin Piscator, in his Dramatic Workshop at The New School in New York. Piscator founded the Workshop after emigrating to New York, having collaborated with Brecht to create "epic theatre" inGermany.The Piscator Notebook is a compelling record of the genealogy of political theatre practice in the early 20th Century, from Europe to the US. But it is also a stunningly personal reflection on the pleasures and challenges of learningabout theatre, charged with essential insights for the student and teacher, actor and director.
