“well-researched and wide-ranging … Lichtenberg’s monograph [synthesizes] existing theatre-historical scholarship and more recent theatre theories to draw an unprecedentedly complete picture of Piscator’s prominent role in twentieth-century theatre … [and] the 1927-28 Piscatorbühne season with its mediatized productions as a precursor of postdramatic theatre.”

“This monograph … examines how these productions influenced [Piscator’s] own later documentary theatre, the plays of his contemporary Bertolt Brecht, and generations of subsequent theatre avant-gardists in the United States and Germany.”
