OMG! This has been such a useful video! For my uni dissertation I’m creating a piece about open relationships and my main objective is to challenge people’s views and perspectives about monogamy. I wanted to use some of Brecht’s devices and this video has been incredibly helpful! You’ve explained all of them so well, it’s been a joy to listen and watch.

Nicely explained! Thank you. I was trying to understand what formalism meant as literary theory and Brechtian theatre was cited as an example.
