I just finished reading The good Women of Setzuan. A few really basic comments:
-The names are comedic. But they also make it hard to remember who is who. A lot of the names begin with the "sh" sound which typically stands for silence. Secrets and silence tie together.
-I also love the way everybody is announced into the scene. It's part of the Brechtian style. It's also just plain funny and kind of stupid in a way. It's almost as if it is assumed that the audience is dumb and needs to know exactly who is about to enter onto the stage or else they'll get confused.
