The Good Person of Setzuan

Ethics dissolve, goodness is defiled and wickedness is rewarded. Who is the good person of Setzuan? Three gods are on a mission to find out.

A 90's extravaganza with karaoke, sock puppets and special guest star - Cardboard Hugh Jackman!

The play follows a young prostitute, Shen Teh, as she struggles to lead a life that is "good" according to the terms of the morality taught by the gods, and to which her fellow citizens of Setzuan pay no regard, without allowing herself to be abused and trodden upon by those who would accept and, more often than not, abuse her goodness. Her neighbors and friends prove so brutal in the filling of their bellies that Shen Teh is forced to invent an alter ego to protect herself: a male cousin named Shui Ta, who becomes a cold and stern protector of Shen Teh's interests.
