The good person of Szechwan

Frontcover
7 Rezensionen
Arcade Pub., 08.02.1994 - 147 Seiten

The Good Person Of Szechwanis one of Bertolt Brecht's most popular plays. In this famous parable, long known in this country as the potentially misleading title of "The Good Woman of Szechwan," the gods come to earth in search of a thoroughly good person. They encounter Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute who, to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive in an evil world, must disguise herself as a man.

Commissioned and authorized by the Brecht estate, Arcade's definitive edition of the complete dramatic work contains a newly revised translation by John Willett and an introduction by the joint editors of Brecht's collected works in English, John Willett and Ralph Manheim. The appendix provides Brecht's own notes and relevant texts as well as extensive editorial commentary on the genesis of the play.

Review: The Good Person of Szechwan

Nutzerbericht - Goodreads

I have heard all sorts of disparaging remarks made about Brecht and how he used collaborators but never credited them, how he claimed to have written work that wasn't his, etc... I don't know how true ...

Review: The Good Person of Szechwan

Nutzerbericht - Goodreads

Fundamentally intriguing, this play certainly made me think deeply about the basis of a good person with a happy end. The two almost seem opposing. I loved the typical Brecht style of epic theatre and enjoyed this thoroughly. Not to be missed!
