A programme text edition of Brecht's famous parable, this new
translation by David Harrower was published to accompany the
production at the Young Vic, London, in May 2008 and is based on a
previously unpublished version of Brecht's play.Three Gods are on a
journey to find out if there are any good people left on earth.
Only Shen Te, a good-hearted prostitute, offers them shelter. With
the money they give her she opens a tobacco shop. At once everyone
needs her help. Her livelihood is in danger. Worse, she is falling
in love with Sun, a pilot, who is robbing her blind. Her hard
hearted cousin Shui Ta arrives to protect her. Who is he and how
can good people stay good in a world of poverty and cruelty?'Brecht
is the key figure of our time and all theatre today starts from or
returns to his achievement.' Peter Brook
