The Days of the Commune is a play by the twentieth-century German dramatist Bertolt Brecht.
The work forgoes the individual dramatic hero and focuses on the Paris Commune itself, a collective composite of people.
The scenes shift between the different lives of people, going from the street corners of Montmartre to the Paris City Council.
Karl Marx viewed the Commune - which remained the only attempt at a decidedly socialist government during his lifetime - as the prelude of a classless communist society.
It is one of the main sources for the first act of Luigi Nono's opera Al gran sole carico d'amore.
