Arnolt Bronnen

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Arnolt Bronnen (19 August 1895 in Vienna - 12 October 1959, in East Berlin) was an Austrian playwright and director. Bronnen's most famous play is Parricide (Vatermord, 1922); its premiere production is notable, among other things, for being that from which Bronnen's friend, the young Bertolt Brecht in an early stage of his directing career, withdrew, after being taken to hospital with malnutrition and the actors of the cast, led by Heinrich George, walked out on him. According to The Cambridge Guide to Theatre, the "erotic, anti-bourgeois, black expressionism" of the play "caused a sensation" when it was eventually performed.
