In it, the gods come to earth in search of enough good people to justify their existence. They find Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute, and make her a gift that enables her to set up her own business. But her goodness brings ruin and she must disguise herself as a man in order to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features an introduction and extensive notes and textual variants.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBertolt Brecht (1898-1956) is acknowledged as one of the great dramatists whose work has had a considerable influence on the theatre.
