Meet Baal. Outsider poet, schizophrenic singer/songwriter, middle-class bum. With an insatiable appetite for sex and booze, Baal lives his life for the moment. From strip joint to sewer he leaves a trail of devastation and recklessly dispensed lyricism in his wake. Bertolt Brecht's first play, Baal, rages with the fire of youth. Nothing escapes young Brecht's burning wit and self-immolating irony here. An anti-hero and cult artist at odds with the world, Baal indulges in fleshy decadence spewing surreal poetry and bawdy libretto.
