The good woman of Setzuan.

Description:

"The Good Woman of Setzuan, written during Brecht's exile and set in pre-Communist China, is a parable of a young woman torn between obligation and reality, between love and practicality, and between her own needs and those of her friends and neighbors." "Eric Bentley provides here a reliable English version of one of Brecht's most popular plays. This performance-friendly translation is often used in the theater.". "Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) is one of Germany's best-known playwrights. His social critiques, including The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Mother Courage and Her Children, and The Threepenny Opera, resonate with modern audiences and continue to be frequently performed."--BOOK JACKET.
