'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 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 unique bilingual edition
allows students to compare the original German text with a
translation by one of the world's leading playwrights, Tony
Kushner. 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. The English translation by
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner is original and
accessible. Contemporary, lively language makes it the perfect
English version to elucidate and compare with the original text.
This edition also includes a critical introduction and commentary
notes on particular words and phrases.
