Bronnen was born inVienna, Austria, the son of the Austrian-Jewish writerFerdinand Bronner and his Christian wife Martha Bronner.[1] Bronnen's most famous play is theExpressionist dramaParricide (Vatermord, 1922); its première production is notable, among other things, for being that from which Bronnen's friend, the youngBertolt Brecht in an early stage of his directing career, withdrew, after being taken to hospital with malnutrition and the actors of the cast, led byHeinrich George, walked out on him.[2] According toThe Cambridge Guide to Theatre, the "erotic, anti-bourgeois, black expressionism" of the play "caused a sensation" when it was eventually performed.
Bronnen also wroteBirth of Youth (Geburt der Jugend, 1922) andDie Excesse (1923).[3] After having collaborated on film treatments and various theatrical projects together, in 1923 Bronnen and Brecht co-directed a condensed version ofPastor Ephraim Magnus (anihilistic, Expressionist play, according toThe Cambridge Guide, "stuffed withperversities andsado-masochisticmotifs") byHans Henny Jahnn.[4] Later in his life he wrotereportage plays.[3]
