Optimistische Tragodie (literally translates to "Optimistic Tragedy"), the 1958 German stage play production (of the 1933 Vsevolod Vishnevsky Russian play), which was performed by the Berliner Ensemble theater group, and held at the Bertolt-Brecht Platz in Berlin. Note that the Berliner Ensemble is a German theatre company established by playwright Bertolt Brecht and his wife, Helene Weigel in 1949 in Berlin, East Germany. Bertolt Brecht was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet from the 1920s to 1956. He was the main proponent of the genre named epic theater. During the Nazi period and World War II he lived in exile, first in Scandinavia and then in the United States. Returning to East Berlin after the war, he established the theatre company Berliner Ensemble with his wife and long-time collaborator, actress Helene Weigel. Some of his works include: The Threepenny Opera, Life of Galileo and Mother Courage and Her Children

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some tiny bits of paper loss in the top of the left border and a little bit of other minor wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but it was slightly roughly handled after it was backed, and there are now a few minor creases in the bottom of the poster (both in the poster and in the linen, but they are not very significant).
