The participation of Bretch in advancing the capabilities of theatre studies is apparent in the formation of an experimentally oriented narrative. The narrative works on a hypothesis that no human being can be the sent to earth and remain good. This experiment was conducted by three gods descended from heaven (Hendee 10). They are received by Wang, who found it tough to find a house for them. Wang, therefore, decided to look for a prostitute who he knew would not refuse to welcome them. The gods found the prostitute to be the first good person since she gave them a place to rest. The gods also got encountered with the prostitute and left her some money in order to avoid breaking their resolutions.
In perspective, this experimental narrative shows that even the gods were subject to doing bad once they had landed on earth. This aspect reminds the audience that the presentation has been just a narrative. This alienated perspective reminds the audience about the true nature of the narrative where the situations being described are not real. For instance, the descending of the 3 gods makes the presentation a fantasy. The reader keeps wondering how the gods descendent how they would have appeared like while on earth. The reader virtualizes their characteristic and defines if they were like human beings (Gruber 99). If not, the prostitute would also not welcome them in her premise. This is a good association with the alienation theories and epic theatre. This aspect is attributed to the connection with diverse literature on the formation of narratives where new tactic to present and keep past literature are managed. This narrative development is a model for the 21st theatre studies in accordance to contemporary issues.
