: Why did brecht want his stage set to look like a boxing ring and how did he achieve this?
: I only know the very basics and I am trying to research this myself. Basically it was all to make the audience aware that they were only watching a play (i.e. the alienation effect). This happened because they could see the audience on the other side of the ring and there was huge dramatic technique used by physicalising opposing opionions as the 2 sides in a boxing match. It may be helpful to research Brecht's views on sport because he has contrasted the state of German theatre with the control and entertainment of sport. Just an idea.
