The Tutor. The Loeb seems to be continuing this year its tradition of presenting relatively unknown plays by relatively well-known playwrights. This fall's first production is the East Coast premiere of The Tutor by Bertolt Brecht, author of The Three-Penny Opera and Mother Courage. It's a satiric parable of the moral collapse of the educational system in Nazi Germany; the tutor of the title goes around/seducing all his female students, with predictably disastrous consequences. The director is Jurgen Flimm from the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, Germany, and the play itself is based on an 18th century work by Jacob Lenz. At the Loeb, October 23-26 and October 19-November 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets $3.50 and $3.
