The Good Person of Szechwan
by Bertolt Brecht
Translated by Tony Kushner
Directed by Ashley Kelly Tata (MFA Directing Candidate, 2012)
Is it possible to be good? In this rare comedy from renowned
German political playwright and theorist, Bertolt Brecht, three
gods visit the town of Szechwan in the hopes of finding a good
person on earth. When the only person to offer them shelter is
a pool prostitute, the gods grant her wealth to see if the best
of humanity can maintain her goodness. The Good Person of
Szechwan comes to life in a vibrant music and
multimedia-infused production that will send your moral compass whirling.
