Nick Cohen: Time for curtain to fall on Brecht

guardian.co.uk Arts: "The Good Soul of Szechuan meets the Young Vic's usual high standards. Jane Horrocks is frenetic and brilliant as the prostitute Shen Te, Brecht's 'good soul', who tries to live a moral life in his cruel and corrupt version of China. A large cast, a rare treat in the cash-strapped London theatre, supports her, while David Harrower's translation makes dialogue written in 1940 sound contemporary."
