Summary
"What is the cost of being good?”
In the hustle and bustle of a modern-day metropolis, Shen Te is doing all she can to get by. When three gods reward her hospitality with a life-changing sum of money, Shen Te opens a tobacco shop and claims the stability she’s always dreamed of. But the struggle is not over yet. Forced to question the cost of her own survival, she resorts to scheming and deceit to flourish in this capitalist world.
Bursting with humour, energy and karaoke, Brecht’s play is brought up to date in a new version by Nina Segal.
