Beyond John Dann by Thurman P. Banks Jr. A tale of humor and heartbreak, coming of age, inspiration, and family.

Step by step, Dwight McAran built a wall of vicious hate around himself. It was easy. He was a man who could slap one woman to death because she loved him, and hum a love song to another while he raped her. Sure, he did some time in jail. He sat in a cell and simmered for five long years until his hate hardened to a core of white-hot evil. Revenge was all he craved - and a plan was what he had - a plan just cruel enough to please him, and just crazy enough to work.

Peter Brook states unequivocally: "Brecht is the key figure of our time, and all theatre work today at some point starts or returns to his statements and achievement." In Beyond Brecht theatre practitioners, film-makes, and scholars assess the work of those who in their own creative work have absorbed Brecht and sought to move beyond him to create theatre, film, and song for the 1980s. From David Bowie's London Baal production to film in Switzerland, to engaged theatre in Calcutta, to the genius of Fo in Italy, the volume moves us beyond a Brecht fit for the museum, to a Brecht full of life for our turbulent time.
