The poor of Szechwan soon abuse her kindness and so, to survive, Shen Teh re-invents herself as a ruthless businessman - Shui Tal. This double life brings dilemma and strife and complications set in when Shen Teh falls in love. There is a growing suspicion of her mysterious absences and whilst in disguise as Shui Ta she is put on trial for the abduction of Shen Teh. Out of Brecht's sharpest and most exciting plays, with stunning music and mask.T01436937572Updated for the 80th Anniversary - Three gods search for just one honest person on earth to justify humanity's existence.
