that Brecht would want it to
be produced,'? the director
said.
Brecht's use of devices set
out in his concept of drama
described these devices as
the use of screens, projec
tions, captions on the stage,
in addition to the use of mu
sic. "In the Brechtian produc
tion, the songs arrest the ac
tion of the play, he said,
of the play."
Williams said that Brecht
often used these devices to
interrupt the action of the
play because "Brecht felt that
when an audience sees the
play, it should think rather
than get involved in the emo
tions of the characters."
The trouble is that some
of the devices Brecnt uses
ncac
just don't work," he said.
"They are an interruption, a
disturbance rather than a
thinking a factor."
"And people are thinking
more about being bothered
with the devices," he said.
"But he wanted the audience
to realize that this is not real
and is still just the theater,"
he added.
Williams said that in "Moth
er Courage" he had tried to
use all these devices he could
get on the stage to see if they
would work.
! He noted that the devices
may be good but the opera-
tion of them bad, citing the

"If the device works, it's
beautiful," Williams com
mented, "if it doesn't, its a
nuisance."
Williams said that Ameri
cans are oriented to the illu
sionary theater which stress
es the becoming emotionally
involved in a character. The
Brechtian style of drama is a
rather new concept in t h e
minds of many people, he add
ed. "But we have tc have these
