Set in a mythical Chicago, Saint Joan of the Stockyards is Brecht's
first major political drama for the commercial theater. It tells the tale
of Joan Dark, a virtuous knight in a Christian army of salvation, who makes
the Stockyards her field of battle when she clashes with meat king and philanthropist Pierpoint
Mauler over the heart of business and
the soul of labor
The play was never staged in Brecht's lifetime, and is published here
with a new translation and introductory notes
