Hastings College Department of Theatre Arts presents
The Good Person of Setzuan
By Bertold Brecht and Adapted by Tony Kushner
After years of complaints about the morality of mankind, the gods come to earth to prove that
they can still find good people. In depressed and corrupt Setzuan, however, they only find one,
whom they reward with money. This new wealth becomes her burden as, one by one, people try
to separate her from her money. Her challenge is to keep morality and money at the same time,
in this parable by one of the great playwrights in a new adaptation by Tony Kushner.
