Brecht's famous parable, written in exile in 1939-41, shows that in an
unjust society good can only survive by means of evil. In it, the gods
come to earth in search of enough good people to justify their
existence. They find Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless
prostitute, and make her a gift that enables her to set up her own
business. But her goodness brings ruin and she must disguise herself
as a man in order to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive.
Published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition
features an introduction and extensive notes and textual variants.
