  All About Jewish Theatre - A hard-nosed Utopian :Max Reinhardt
Reinhardt was thirty-two when he took over the Deutsches Theater, which he led to world fame as a completely unsubsidised private theatre until the Nazis drove it to ruin with their predatory taxation laws, Aryanising through the back door.
Theatre, he believed, was the "happiest haven for those who have secretly put their childhood in their pockets, so that they can continue to play to the end of their days".
Max Reinhardt took another path and because of this he is still a provocation to subsidised culture.

He was director of the Deutsches Theater after 1905 and of the smaller Kammerspiele, which he built in 1906.
Reinhardt often used the entire auditorium for a production, seeking to bridge the gap between actor and audience by placing the spectator within the action.
He was also one of the first to stage the plays of the expressionists after World War I. In 1919 he opened an enormous arena theater, the Grosses Schauspielhaus (“Theatre of the Five Thousand”), and in 1920 he founded the Salzburg Festival, where he annually staged Everyman with the Austrian Alps as his backdrop.

Brecht called his modern theatre the EpicTheatre and this was to be the theatre for the modern, scientific era.
It would be a theatre that was addressed to reason rather than empathy and to the common man. For Brecht, the radical transformation was from a nineteenth century bourgeois world view to a twentieth century scientific one, from which perspective the artefacts and philosophical tenets of the past appeared old and in decline.
Theatre would be at the forefront of social and political life, the privileged scene of the social life of the period.

In 1905, theorist-essayist-designer Gordon Craig specified in On the Art of the Theatre that "the directorial function is fully established as the art of synthesizing script, design, and performance into a unique and splendid theatrical event" (quoted in Cohen 1983, 141).
In 1913, Jacques Copeau added, "the director's primary task is the faithful translation of the dramatist's script into a 'poetry of the theatre'" (quoted in Brockett 1982, 578).
By the 1970s, authors of theatre texts were proclaiming, "the director is the final authority in all matters related to production; he stages the play, coaches the actors, integrates the entire production" (Sievers, Stiver, and Kahan 1974, 11).

 More on Murnau
The theatre of Max Reinhardt and expressionism in general had a major impact on the style of filmmaking that arose in Germany after the First World War.
From Reinhardt and the expressionistic theatre movement, Murnau inherited acting, lighting and staging styles that made the subjective emotions of his film's characters tangible.
And unlike many of the other directors of the German film industry of the 20's, Murnau came from a rural background, from the rolling farmlands of Westphalia.

 Theatre Spaces Part 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The German director Max Reinhardt was among the first to advocate a theatre complex in which there are several kinds of theatres, such as a large proscenium or thrust house and a smaller arena stage, and to suggest that different plays require different kinds of theatres.
A similar twentieth century trend is to design a flexible theatre in which the audience and stage areas can be rearranged to form any of the three basic arrangements.
The fl box theatre (such as we have at Geneseo) is a simple solution to the theatre artist's desire to make the space fit the production: it is simply a room painted fl, in which audience seating, stage platforms, lighting and scenery can be placed anywhere in the room and changed for each play.
