Written in exile during the Second World War, the story of Brecht's
classic play subverts an ancient Chinese tale - echoed in the
Judgement of Solomon - in which two women claim the same child. The
message of Brecht's parable is that resources should go to those
who will make best use of them. Thanks to the rascally judge,
Azdak, one of Brecht's most vivid creations, this story has a happy
outcome: the child is entrusted to the peasant Grusha, who has
loved and nurtured it.Published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics
series, this edition features an extensive introduction, Brecht's
own notes on the play and a full appendix of textual variants. It
is the standard critical edition of the work in an acclaimed
translation by James and Tania Stern with W. H. Auden.
