Over a period of years and after being given special access by the Brecht family to the archives, American John Fuegi, devoted fan of famous German playwright Bert Brecht, discovered to his distress more and more evidence suggesting that much of the work that bore Brecht's name wasn't written by him at all. He wrote a book about his discoveries called Brecht & Co which caused considerable controversy. Jean Betts, moved by the stories of the unknown, mostly female playwrights who seemed to be responsible for so much of Brecht's reputation, wrote this play to try to help them find their rightful place in history, and also to encourage us to think harder about the nature of creative relationships, and to reconsider our obsession with the absurd idea of 'genius'. Why did these clever women stay with him and allow themselves to be exploited for so long? (3 male, 6 female).
