Brecht classic adapted for Yue opera

THE Good Person of Szechwan is a famous piece of theatre from 1943 that's often regarded as one of the best works by German playwright Bertolt Brecht.

It tells the story of three gods who come to earth in search of a "good person" to justify why the world should be allowed to continue to exist, and of course the people they meet along the way.

The Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe from China will be staging a Yue Opera adaptation of this classic story here on Feb 15 with the title Good Soul of South Yangtze.
