Performances run through 24 December.
Three gods descend from the heavens in search of something truly rare: one good person. In the city of Szechwan, they find Shen Teh, a poor prostitute with a heart of gold, who agrees to take them into her humble home. As a token of gratitude, they gift her a sum of money that enables her to start a new life.
But when goodness meets harsh reality, it becomes clear that a generous heart may come at a high cost.
To survive, Shen Teh invents an alter ego: a tough cousin named Shui Ta, who can do all those things she herself wouldn't dare do.
As she falls in love with a melancholic pilot, the internal rift between her two selves further deepens.
Can one remain good in this world? And if so—at what price?
A gripping and moving adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s masterpiece, written "once upon a time" about a land "far, far away," yet still strikingly relevant here and now.
