This man wrote a one-act in which a new lamp lights up a seedy street called Lux in Tenebris. A conversation this man had with Mark Blitzstein about "prostitution" in society inspired the Orson Welles-directed labor musical The Cradle Will Rock. In another of his plays, the apparently-dead Jussup pops back to life as soon as he hears that the draft is over, and an army called the Iron Shirts forces a woman to flee Georgia
This man wrote a one-act in which a new lamp lights up a seedy street called Lux in Tenebris. A conversation this man had with Mark Blitzstein about "prostitution" in society inspired the Orson Welles-directed labor musical The Cradle Will Rock. In another of his plays, the apparently-dead Jussup pops back to life as soon as he hears that the draft is over, and an army called the Iron Shirts forces a woman to flee Georgia with her baby. This man employed the "distancing effect," a principle of "epic theater," and depicted Judge Azdak ruling in Grusha's favor in a maternity dispute. For 10 points, name this leftist German dramatist who wrote The Caucasian Chalk Circle and Mother Courage and Her Children.
