'Brecht's dark, dazzling world-view...makes an absolutely devastating
impact. The play is fuelled by the brilliant perception that everyone
requires such a dual or split personality to survive.' Evening
Standard Three gods come to earth hoping to discover one really good
person. No one can be found until they meet Shen Te, a prostitute with
a heart of gold. Rewarded by the gods, she gives up her profession and
buys a tabacco shop but finds it is impossible to survive as a good
person in a corrupt world without the support of her ruthless alter
ego Shui Ta. Brecht's parable of good and evil was first performed in
1943 and remains one of his most popular and frequently produced plays
worldwide. This Student Edition features an extensive introduction and
commentary that includes a plot summary, discussion of the context,
themes, characters, style and language as well as questions for
further study and notes on words and phrases in the text. It is the
perfect edition for students of theatre and literature.
