Epic Theatre is a theatrical style that developed in the early 20th century, primarily attributed to the work of [[Bertolt Brecht]] and the Berliner Ensemble. With a political basis in [[Communism]], it attempts to reconcile the differences between entertainment and education to create a politically informing performance. This is through a process of Verfremdung (disassociation) of the audience.

Epic Theatre is a theatrical style that developed in the early 20th century, primarily attributed to the work of [[Bertolt Brecht]] and the Berliner Ensemble. It has come to be known as one of the most influential styles of modern theater. An attack against [[Capitalism]], Brecht used a combination of education and entertainment (a key idea in Epic Theatre) in an attempt to persuade his audiences towards [[Communism]]. This was done through a process of disassociating the audience from empathising with the plot or character using, what Brecht labelled, the Verfremdungseffekt (estrangement effect).
