Synopsis:
Written on the country estate of HElla Wuolijoki during Brechts time of exile in Finland, the Judith of Shimoda examines the story of a Japanese geisha, Okichi, in late 19th century Japan. Revered as national folklore, Okichi is credited with mending the relationship between Japan and the United States after Japans refUSAl to enter trade agreements on American terms following the Japanese legislation to open trade with the West. In this play, Brecht analyzes one countrys immediate response to a woman who destined to become a national hero and asks what happened after the heroic deed .
