It's refreshing reading Brecht. He's an optimist and for once, not a raging asshole. His prose is concise and he actually does cite his betters. Plus he doesn't have the Go Germany, hate everyone else attitude. He comes to admire Chinese Theater, etc and is willing to explore.

The cornerstone of his philosophy is FUN. It must be FUN to watch. It must be FUN to write. You can't be a long suffering writer. https://ia801405.us.archive.org/18/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.150164/2015.150164.Brecht-On-Theatre.pdf
