A time of gang warfare, Bob Marley music, Flared trousers and platform shoes. ‘The Good Person of Sezuan’ is a new version of Brecht’s classic comedy, updated and set in Jamaica and featuring reggae music and songs! This highly acclaimed production first toured in 2010, and is touring again in October 2012, to coincide with Jamaica 50. Three gods descend to earth, looking for signs of goodness in a corrupt world. But they can find only one good person and she’s a prostitute… “Saw this last night. It was absolutely joyous. I came home feeling as if I’d been to the best party in the world. Bertolt Brecht himself would have been delighted!”
