《Great God Brown》

Japanese: 《偉大なる神ブラウン》 - いだいなるかみぶらうん
《Great God Brown》

For example, "Emperor Jones" (premiered in 1920) was based on expressionist aesthetics, and emphasized lighting and sound effects, trying to express the protagonist's emotions in a way that the audience could see and hear. In "Great God Brown" (premiered in 1926), the characters appear wearing masks. "Strange Interludes" (premiered in 1928) uses the method of "internal monologue," and in addition to the usual lines, it contains a large amount of asides that convey the characters' psychology.
