Is anybody here familiar with any of his plays?

Several of them. I don't know their English titles though, and I'm too lazy to look them up. However I saw Mutter Courage, Der gute Mensch von Sezuan and another one I can't remember the title of right now, about a mother with two sons during a civil war... hmmmmm... and I read some of "his" things... I'm writing "his" because Helene Weigel probably wrote a lot of his stuff... and I'm familiar with the Drei Groschen Oper he did with Kurt Weill.

I haven't seen any of his plays but i've read some of the stuff he wrote (or didn't write). There also some interesting poems from his pre-Communist period.
During the war he spent some time in Finland before he moved on to Russia and the US only to end up in the GDR.
