N2  - "This volume of the new, authorized translation of the collected works of Bertolt Brecht contains the three plays and one adaptation written during Brecht's six-year stay in the United States: The Visions of Simone Machard, Schweyk in the Second World War, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, and the adaptation, in English, of Webster's The Duchess of Malfi. The translations are edited by Ralph Manheim, National Book Award winner, and John Willett, author of a standard work on Brecht. An introduction places the American plays in the context of Brecht's total work, and editorial notes give variant texts, as well as Brecht's own statements on production and staging." -- From the book jacket
