I'm a big fan of Brecht, and it's interesting to read through the less produced work that is just as relevant to the thesis of all his plays. That said, I found Bentley's introductions a little tedious, more interested in his own ideas about Brecht's ideas than actually dissecting the work. Some of the introductions are repetitive or more focused on Bentley's productions of the work than looking at what Brecht accomplished with these plays.
