Bertolt Brecht's Saint Joan Of The Stockyards presents a searing indictment of capitalism through the lens of epic theatre. This powerful drama chronicles the idealistic Joan Dark as she navigates the brutal world of Chicago's meatpacking industry, attempting to bring spiritual solace and social justice to exploited workers. The narrative uncovers the inherent contradictions of a system that prioritizes profit over human dignity, illustrating the futility of individual good intentions against entrenched economic forces. Brecht masterfully argues for systemic change, employing a stark, intellectual tone that challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about society and morality. It remains a seminal work, detailing the struggles of the working class with profound insight.
