Best Answer

Brechtian theatre is an abstract form of theatre. Its main feature consists of breaking that boundary between actors on stage and the audience watching. Generally, the actors will enter and/or exit from the audience and pose socio-cultural issues that will make the audience member ask themselves a sub-conscious question about the issue. Shakespearean and Greek theatre is somewhat your stock standard form of theatre.
