“It gives you goosebumps. Brecht is still so relevant.” (Berlin Morning Post)

Bertolt Brecht was not only a playwright, theatre theoretician and political thinker but also an exceptionally gifted poet and singer-songwriter. Stranger Than The Moon uses his poems, songs, biographical notes and video to convey his life, in his words, created by his theatre.

“Stranger than the Moon by Oliver Reese is great fun.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

The story of Brecht’s life is told in three parts: Part one tells of his early success in the days of the Weimar Republic, including The Threepenny Opera and his collaborations with Elisabeth Hauptmann, Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler. Part two follows his exile to Denmark, Sweden and US, writing about politics and war, including Mother Courage and Her Children, The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. In the final part, hearing Hitler has fallen, he returns to East Berlin, where he and his wife, actress Helene Weigel, found The Berliner Ensemble and enjoy considerable success before his death in 1956.
