Theatre Historian Stefan Brecht Dies At 84

“Stefan Brecht, whose father was the playwright Bertolt Brecht and who added to the family’s theatrical legacy by fastidiously chronicling the rise of avant-garde theater, died on April 13 in Manhattan. … For decades, Mr. Brecht worked on a series of books, collectively known as ‘The Original Theater of the City of New York: From the Mid-Sixties to the Mid-Seventies,’ that described, in great detail, the work of the city’s seminal experimental theater artists.”
