- Authors
BAYER, MARK
- Abstract
The article looks into the concept of epic theater of Bertolt Brecht in relation to Thomas Heywood and the Red Bull. Topics include an examination of the five-part cycle of plays titled "Ages," the visual effects, nostalgic tales, and larger-than-life heroes of Heywood's works, and the type of audience that frequented the Red Bull such as tradesmen and apprentices. It also discusses the transformative and redemptive form of mass entertainment provided by Heywood.
