An Off-Broadway production in New York City was mounted in 1985 from a new translation by Michael Feingold. The Feingold translation also served as the basis for "Uncivil Wars: Moving with Brecht and Eisler", an adaptation of the play which was created and directed by David Gordon. After several years of development, including a workshop at Cornell University that used the N. Goold-Verschoyle translation, it officially premiered at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in March 2009, and was subsequently performed at The Kitchen in New York City, and at the Alexander Kasser Theater of Montclair State University. Gordon's production used all but one of the original Eisler songs, performed by Gina Leishman on piano, pump organ, accordion and ukulele. The piece was re-explored in Philadelphia in 2014.
