This is another of Brecht’s short plays that he referred to as Lehrstucke, or more precisely morality the plays, though this one is a little longer than the other three in the book. Anyway the play is about an unnamed merchant who is wandering across the desert to look at selling some oil that he ha...
This is actually a really short play, so short that it only took me four beers to finish it.

Ova zajedljivos...
