The Good Person of Szechwan (German: Der gute Mensch von Sezuan, first translated less literally as The Good Woman of Szechuan) is a play written by the German theater practitioner Bertolt Brecht, in collaboration with Margarete Steffin and Ruth Berlau. The play was begun in 1938 but not completed until 1943, while the author was in exile in the United States. It was first performed in 1943 at the Schauspielhaus Zürich in Switzerland, with a musical score and songs by Swiss composer Huldreich Georg Früh. The play, a parable set in the "capital of Sichuan," a Chinese province, is an example of Brecht's "non-Aristotelian drama," a dramatic form intended to be staged with the methods of epic theater.
