Over a period of years and after being given special access by the Brecht family to the archives, John Fuegi, devoted fan of famous German playwright Bertolt Brecht, discovered more and more evidence suggesting that much of the work that bore Brecht's name wasn't written by him at all. He wrote a book about his discoveries called Brecht & Co., which caused considerable controversy.

Jean Betts, moved by the stories of the unknown, mostly female playwrights who seemed to be responsible for so much of Brecht's reputation (Elisabeth Hauptmann, Ruth Berlau, Grete Steffin) wrote The Collective to try to help them find their rightful place in history and also to encourage us to think harder about the nature of creative relationships.

To be performed by the NASDA class of 2016 in the NASDA Theatre from 13th - 19th of May (no show Sunday). 

Directed by Mel Luckman.

Tickets available online until midday on the day of each performance (midday Friday for the Saturday performance).  Additional tickets available for purchase on the door from 7pm each evening.
