Editorial Review of Jewish Wife and Other Short Plays: Includes: In Search of Justice; Informer; Elephant Calf; Measures Taken; Exception and the Rule; Salzburg Dance of Death (Brecht, Bertolt)
These six plays represent the best and most humorous of Brecht's shorter works. The Jewish Wife is from the Fear and Misery in the Third Reich cycle of one-act plays, which, along with In Search of Justice and The Informer, chromicles the hardships of life in Nazi Germany.

Review Summary: great read
Review: This book is full of wonderful plays by Bertolt Brecht. I had performed a scene from The Judge in one of my acting classes in community college, and I just HAD to get my hands on my own copy after. I'm glad I got it, because I love reading all of his plays.

Review Summary: The Jewish Wife
Review: This play has many angles of which may be interpreted. You can see that the wife and husband are well known in the community and the husband is intelligent. The wife is trying to find a way to stand up to her husband (about her leaving him to go to safer Amsterdam during WWII), but will she be able to gather her courage and speak up or just go along with what he tells her, though she thinks he is wrong?

Review Summary: Short Lessons in the Epic Theatre
Review: Whatever the controversy in Brecht's personal life or even his authorship of the work which we credit him, the works contained in this collection are windows to understanding the form championed by many as the only alternative to Stanislavsky's method.

'The Elephant Calf' and 'The Measures Taken' are lessons in action and politics. 'The Jewish Wife' apart from being one of the most important monologues of all time, is a lesson in humanity. A great collection for any actor or serious theatre enthusiast.
