1 Good Person of Szechwan Review, Discount Good Person of Szechwan

A play by Bertold Brecht about how to be a good person and create a world that maintains goodness.

In this comic and complex play, one of Brecht’s most entertaining characters, Shen Tei, the good-hearted, penniless, cross-dressing prostitute, is forced to disguise herself as a savvy businessman named Shui Ta to master the ruthlessness necessary to be a “good person” in a cruel world of limited resources.

Where to eat & drink (4)

The Library at the Public (American $$ - $$$)

1 min walk. The Public’s in-house bar and restaurant has a pricey New American menu, but it offers a romantic hidden-away feel, and you can’t beat the location. A relatively new addition that was part of the Public’s 2012 renovation.
