Music played by Archie Camden (bassoon) James Blades (percussion)
Peter Gellhorn (piano)

Bertolt Brecht's story of a journey is almost an equation in inequality. A is rich, B and C are poor. Therefore in no circumstances can B + C = A..... Brecht's liking for interior monologue in ballad form is evident, and the final scene is a bullet at the heart of injustice, even if it demands acceptance of the German playwright's inexorable social philosophy.
