Synopsis

 

The Good Person of New Haven, adapted from Brecht, was the final production of Long Wharf's 1999-2000 season and was created over three years in collaboration with hundreds of community residents. This adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s modern fable was created over three years in workshops involving hundreds of local residents, and set new standards for Cornerstone’s depth of community engagement. The production had a 48-performance run on Long Wharf’s main-stage.
