Five scenes, The Chalk Cross, Judicial Process, Occupational Disease, The Jewish Wife and The Spy, were originally titled Die Angst-Spiritual Upsurge of the German People Under Nazis, and the formed the nucleus from which Brecht built up his full script. From 1935 to 1938 that script grew from five to 17 to 27 playlets (the number of scenes eventually totaled 30, with more in outline form). The play has undergone many permutations throughout the years, as scenes were added, performed individually and in groups, and arranged in different orders with different translators. John Willett’s masterfully brutal English translation of Fear and Misery first published in 1983 includes 24 scenes. The play’s production history is equally checkered. The first official production, comprised of only eight scenes, was presented in a 1938 Paris production entitled 99%, an ironic reference to the fact that 99% of the German voters voted Nazi in the March 1936 elections. In 1940, the BBC broadcast a few scenes entitled Under the Crooked Cross. Most notably, the American wartime adaptation The Private Life of the Master Race (surviving now only in Eric Bentley’s translation) reordered the scenes into three parts, added a chorus, new introductory verses and an onstage German panzer.

Under the auspices of the Department of Dramatic Arts and its Little Theatre, Henry Schnitzler, son of the Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler, directed a cast in all 17 scenes of the Bentley translation. The play was done as part of the official program for delegates to the United Nations conference taking place in San Francisco. Schnitzler sent Brecht a telegram after the opening saying “the audience followed every scene with profound attention.” https://www.thebrechtproject.org/ridgeway-bio daily 0.75 2020-09-11 https://www.thebrechtproject.org/delayne-medoff-bio daily 0.75 2020-09-08 https://www.thebrechtproject.org/aaron-royce-jones-bio daily 0.75 2020-09-08 https://www.thebrechtproject.org/susan-e-evans-bio daily 0.75 2020-09-14 https://www.thebrechtproject.org/round1 daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609814897330-LJ84A8KL5QYST9UVJW2Z/Informer+1.png Round 1 The Informer - pictured (clockwise from UL): Kimberly Ridgeway, Gene Moscy, Francis Koll https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609816719587-JFOQ24ZFYE7LL8R0A5IN/Slide1.jpeg Round 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815086786-88CDXFU6N2UR0RRFISN2/Private+Life+-+Informer.png Round 1 The Informer - pictured (clockwise from UL): Kimberly Ridgeway, Gene Mocsy, Francis Koll https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609816628085-8O8P9ZB9F7QQVP36T1CC/Slide2.jpeg Round 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815158879-EK0WEO6X9QGS6PQOUREX/Private+Life+-+I%27m+With+Her.png Round 1 I'm With Her - pictured (clockwise from UL): Sharon Shao, Craig Souza, April Deutschle, Tim Holt Jones, Kimberly Ridgeway, Gene Mocsy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609816654085-IFQOVKABELFBT82HCJ89/Slide4.jpeg Round 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1759954786221-PFJSOS5399RIUQXB1XLM/Im%252BWith%252BHer%252B2.png Round 1 I'm With Her - pictured (clockwise from UL): Sharon Shao, Craig Souza, Kimberly Ridgeway https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609816669621-F8WR0K0AO6FB8ITANVN3/Slide6.jpeg Round 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815361988-GX9NP8E8SRRFTHIRBNXX/Private+Life+-+The+People+Upstairs.png Round 1 The People Upstairs - pictured (l-r): Gene Mocsy, Carolyn Doyle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609816685412-KRANCVNRUVCE2Y2MZ1WR/Slide8.jpeg Round 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815426758-PWF63HVODA2WYTENLUQD/The+People+Upstairs+2.png Round 1 The People Upstairs - pictured (l-r): Gene Mocsy, Carolyn Doyle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609816704778-UXA3Y0CF3KUHW0ZGJ09F/Slide10.jpeg Round 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815474309-4WP4MP8K6OXN4AY0GNBN/Private+Life+-+Judicial+Process.png Round 1 Judicial Process - pictured (l-r): Tom Reilly, Aaron Royce Jones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815600880-F4U9QLZTP1CTWDMN8RG6/Judicial+Process+3.png Round 1 Judicial Process - pictured (l-r): Tom Reilly, Sharon Shao https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815647403-P7Y3F8Z172Y6SZHGW4O8/Judith+3.png Round 1 Judith - pictured (l-r) Damaris Divito, Tim Holt Jones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1609815692522-SPUV5QIZ3RF4R1PJ170Z/Private+Life+-+Judith.png Round 1 Judith - pictured: Damaris Divito https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1601402504051-DLKT1PXGRQU9CTIQYECO/Benjamin%2BBoucvalt%2Bpic.jpg Round 1 - Benjamin Boucvalt Performer About Benjamin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1599856341266-UV6F0LPV8IX2A8BL26C7/Reg%2B2018%2Bpic.jpg Round 1 - Reg Clay Playwright About Reg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1600120827202-B8LZ874Y63SR28FYOGNK/AprilHeadshot.jpg Round 1 - April Deutschle Performer About April https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1601322396100-K2A9IGTKCPT84AVAMLDZ/Divito%2Bheadshot.jpg Round 1 - Damaris Divito Performer About Damaris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1599845595737-XW7Y4AGVBJX10MFP9H7K/Carolyn.Doyle.headshot%2B%25281%2529.jpg Round 1 - Carolyn Doyle Performer About Carolyn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f49a0278a35d123782d6881/1600023463195-B34QBMKERYE1BAW8TJ9Q/Susan%2BE%2BpicRetouched%2Bcopy.jpg Round 1 - Susan E.
