- Title

- Authors
PRESADĂ, Diana
- Abstract
By challenging people's deep-rooted beliefs and ideologies, the German playwright Bertolt Brecht considered that the supreme goal of epic theatre was to reform people's conscience and pave the way for a positive change in the individual and society as a whole. Influenced by his new theatrical vision, John Arden and Edward Bond adapted the epic model to their personal style in scathing satires of the British society. The purpose of the article is to highlight the contribution of Bertolt Brecht and his followers to the development of social and political theatre.
