Plays One: Transformation, Masses Man Hoppla, We're Alive! - Paperback
by Ernst Toller (Author)
Ernst Toller was the most prominent of the German Expressionist playwrights. Transformation is a poetic distillation in stations of the author's conversion from patriot to pacifist in the First World War. In Masses Man, utopian socialist realism clashes with Leninist revolutionary violence. With Hoopla We're Alive, Toller espoused "new sobriety" and presented a contemporary political cross-section of Berlin.
Ernst Toller was a formative figure in the development of theatricaal modernism, yet his plays have not been available in English since the 1920s and 30s. He was also a revolutionary activist who experienced fully the unbearable cataclysms of his time: war, revolution, imprisonment, the chaos of Weimar life, Nazi persecution, exile and the Holocaust.
