Are there any good, impartial people left in today’s highly competitive, modern cities? Can a person with a kind and innocent heart survive in such a place?
On a quest to find good people, three gods arrive in a tiny city of Sichuan Province but are disappointed when no-one is willing to offer them shelter. Eventually, the kind prostitute Sam Tak takes them in and is given some money as a reward. Yet, Sam Tak gradually realises that there is, indeed, a conflict between commercial interests and charitable acts. When she becomes a pragmatic and unemotional urban dweller, she finds herself drifting far from her original good-heartedness. Should she remain true to her kind nature yet allow herself to be bullied by others? Or should she be strong and do the bullying
herself?
German playwright Bertolt Brecht’s classic work The Good Person of Szechwan, from which this play was adapted, is highly inspirational and especially topical in this prevailingly money-oriented society. We invite you to open your minds and watch this play with your soul!
