“Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht (10 February 1898 – 14 August 1956), known professionally as Bertolt Brecht, was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet.” (Wikipedia)

As it would have been his birthday today I thought you might like to look at the titles of some of his plays … and notice how similar the English titles are.

Have a look at the titles and see if you can match them up. If you’d like to do it as a worksheet, download a copy here:Brecht plays or just work it out in your head.
