"I first read this in an old anthology of world literature that was thrown in a dumpster. . . I love it the most of any play I have ever read, and I'm not always sure why. Just read it again this weekend. Exciting, charming, disaster drama. Just lovely!"
"Read this for class. Good stuff. I like reading plays and this one was pretty interesting.
Can't imagine it being performed what with all the breaking out into song, but the characters were amusing - particularly the judge. It was a nice comment on the judicial system."
"I got to play the Narrator in this one. Brecht has a certain earthiness that can be hard to get used to but once you do you will probably love his wicked sense of humor and earnest attempts to bring Socialist thought into the arena."
