description: "One of the greatest poets and dramatists of our century" (Observer) Written when the Brecht's were in exile in Finland, Mr Puntila and his Man Matti is based on a Finnish text and is arguably Brecht's finest comedy. It is the story of a master who wishes to swap roles with his servant; in a series of hilarious scenes, Brecht milks the possibilities for role-reversal and mistaken identity that this situation affords.
