Bertholt Brecht:"The wedding of the philistines"
Brecht’s
comedy „The wedding of the philistines“ is a humorous play
full of points, by which is drawn a bead on hypocrisy and philistinism.
The
Latin translation is easy to read for students with basic knowledges
(about 2 years Latin). A detailed glossary clears up all vocabulary
questions.
May
be some people will ask: Why to read a modern play – even a
Brechtian – in Latin? Counter-question: Why not? As an amusing
variation and a supplement of the canon of classical school reading
– and as a good comedy for a students theatre performance.
