Epic Theatres "Epic Theatre turns the spectator into an observer‚ but arouses his capacity for action‚ forces him to take decisions...the spectator stands outside‚ studies." (Bertolt Brecht. Brecht on Theatre. New York:Hill & Yang‚ 1964. p37) The concept of "epic theatre" was brought to life by German playwright‚ Bertolt Brecht.

When I was a child‚ my mother noticed that I was full of too much energy for her to handle‚ so she sent me to an after-school theatre program at my elementary school. This was groundbreaking for me. Being the middle-child often means that you are never really the center of attention.

truth to it. Theatre of the absurd is an esoteric avant-garde style of theatre based on the principles of existentialism that looks at the world without any assumption of purpose. Existentialism and Theatre of the Absurd became identified with a cultural movement that flourished in Europe in the 1940s and 1950s‚ after the Second World War.
