The sixth volume of Brecht's collected plays contains three plays he wrote while on the run in the early stages of the Second World War. In 'The good person of Szechwan,' the gods come to earth in search of a thoroughly good peson. 'The resistible rise of Arturo Ui' is a savage satire on the rise of Hitler, wittily transposed to gangland Chicago. 'Mr. Puntila and his man Matti' is Brecht's finest comedy. built around the dual personality of its central character.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mother Courage and Her Children is a classic in the repertory of Western theater. Written in response to the outbreak of World War II, this "chronicle play" of the Thirty Years War follows one of Brecht's most enduring characters, Courage, as she trails the armies across Europe, selling provisions from her canteen wagon. However, Courage pays the highest price of all. One by one, her children are devoured by violence, but she will not give up her livelihood-the wagon and the war.

| Summary/Abstract |
A once prosperous town of Guellen, located somewhere in Europe, has been turned into poverty and its citizens are struggling to get by. The opening scene of this play shows us a decrepit train station decorated for a special occasion: the town is expecting the return of Claire Zachanassian -- a millionaire who had left the town of Guellen decades earlier with hardly a penny in her pocket. The mayor and the townspeople hope that Claire is returning to give them money to renovate the town's factory and to bring the town back into prosperity. This is clearly the only motivation for the special welcome as it soon becomes clear that nobody really remembers her or has thought of her during her absence.
