		Brecht draws inspiration from the natural and linguistic sciences, from philosophy and particularly oriental philosophy in order to get to know other ways of thinking.
		Sauerbier captures the essence of Brecht's work when he writes in this context: "Signs are not things but relationships and references; the meaning of signs (…) and the meaning of objects (…) are two different things." In this sense Brecht reworked maps, postcards, playing cards, plates from books, clothes stands and chairs.

		Brecht's parable of a small-time Chicago mobster's rise to power, written in 1941, is a thinly veiled parody of Hitler's coup in Germany in the early 1930s.
		Brecht had seen a few gangster movies on a visit to New York in the mid-1930s, and thought their power usable for his purposes.

		For all the idolatry bestowed on the legacy of Bertold Brecht-he is, after all, one of the few 20th-century figures given his own adjective-rarely (if ever) does the German playwright get much credit for his sense of humor.
		Beneath a giant portrait of Herr Brecht, and framed by set designer Merope Asche's scenic collage of props, platforms, and garments, the ensemble of both sighted and blind actors wove together the numerous episodes of Brecht on Brecht with agile clarity.
		Brecht's revolutionary theories on acting and his wry commentary on Hollywood's film industry were dismissively presented only as lampoons of egotistical show people.

		Knoxville and playwright George Tabori have two things in common—each is hard to classify and each is only marginally aware of the other.
		The Brecht File is about the constriction of freedom, or about the attempt to constrict it, and about the collision of art and politics.
		Their work has both its comic and tragic moments, but one agent struggles to understand what Brecht's work is doing, how it's art, while the other agent tangles with his role as a spy in democratic America.
