Just as Lenin had said that he would have joined the devil if it was necessary to win the revolution, in the same way an exiled Brecht didn’t hesitate in staging characters and situations, plots that dealt with the bourgeoisie, middle-class theatre of his times. The goal was to share with audiences around the world the hatred towards Nazism. 24 scenes is the under-title of the text that marks as failure documents the previous 23. Most are presented as flashes, others are discursive and sometimes even long “wordy” dialogues, just as middle-class representations ought to be, in all their many sociological aspects.
