Eric Bentley - historian, playwright, drama critic and leading Brecht scholar -- introduces scenes from his translation of Bertolt Brecht's play-with-songs Mann Ist Mann ( A Man's A Man. ) • The performance seen here is the then (1962) current off-Broadway production, at a time when Brecht's popularity in America was high after the revival of his The Threepenny Opera. • The cast includes Clifford James, Michael Conrad, James Hefferman, and Olympia Dukakis. Bentley speaks of Brecht's ideas and theater devices, the origins of his political passions in post-World War One Europe, his failure to attract American audiences in the 1930's and his remarkable success later. Brecht died in 1956. This play - early in his career - uses some of the themes and theater approaches he developed in The Threepenny Opera, Mother Courage, and The Good Woman of Setzuan.
