Quotations
1997 Clive Barker, Simon Trussler New Theatre Quarterly 50
:" Brecht's famous Verfremdungseffekte or "alienation effect", intended to counter the magical associations of stage illusion and the tendency for spellbound audiences to identify emotionally with characters on stage, both of which Brecht found abhorrent." 1
