BAYARD: It'snot your mother. The monopolies got control of Germany. Big business is out to make slaves of everyone, that's why you're here. LEBEAU: Well I'm not a philosopher, but I know my mother, and that's why I'm here

There are no persons anymore. Don’t you see that? There will never be persons again. What do I care if you love me?

You didn’t advertise your name in those forbidden books in order to find a reason to leave Paris and save yourself. No, it was in order to get yourself caught. Your heart is conquered territory.

The less you exist the more important it is to
make a clear impression. I can see them
discussing it as a kind of. ...truthfulness. After all,
what is self-restraint, what hypocrisy! If you
despise Jews the most honest thing is to burn
them up and the fact that is costs money and
uses up trains and personnel this only guarantees the integrity, the purity, the existence of their feelings.

Right now it might be the best way to hold on to oneself. It's only that ordinarily one tries to experience life, to be in spirit where one's body is. For some of us it's difficult to shift gears and go into reverse. But that's not a problem for you
BAYARD: You think a man can ever be himself in this society? When millions go hungry and a few live like kings, and whole races are slaves to the stock market

[VON BERG:]They know the disadvantage of me as someone not vulgar enough.
LEDUC: And by vulgar you mean ...
VON BERG: Well, don't you think Nazism ... whatever else it may be ... is an outburst of vulgarity? An ocean of vulgarity?
BAYARD: I'm afraid it's a lot more than that, my friend.
VON BERG: I’m sure it is, yes.
BAYARD: you make it sound like they have bad table manners, that’s all.

Are these for a class or are you just in a play mood?

Oh gosh no I wish this is what I read for class! I did an excellent charity shop haul. Someone old and very well read must’ve died because there was a whole shelf of Brecht, and a sprinkling of pretty much every playwright you’ve ever heard of
Have you read this one?
Nope! I've only read The Crucible and Death of a Salesman from Miller. Really enjoyed both though. It'd be super cool to see one of his plays live.
Oh I recommend this one, then! And even better it doesn’t really need to be seen as it’s a single act in a waiting room :)
Okay, it must be good, because the premise sounds like one of the most boring ideas ever 😅
It’s absolutely incredible! Essentially staging weakness of any pre-existing framework to make sense of the horror unfolding. The aristocrat makes sense of it as a lack of refinery, then is prompted by the others to realise that many of his friends became Nazis. The socialist sees it as class warfare until someone asks if the Nazis aren’t mostly working class. The capitalist has to praise it for its ideological purity because it doesn’t make sense in a world of profit.
This does sound really good 😄 do you think I could maybe borrow it in Prague?
