ABSTRACT
If naturalism had as its apostle in Russia Constantin Stanislavsky; in France André Antoine; in England J. T. Grein; in Germany it was a theatre critic, Otto Brahm, who, inspired by the work of Antoine, became a director and trained a company of actors in the new naturalistic style. As with Stanislavsky and Antoine, his actors were at first amateurs. Brahm helped to clear the German stage of outmoded productions and bring it into the main line of European drama.
