In the shadow of war, survival has a price.
April
Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children is a bold and unflinching examination of the human cost of war. Set during the Thirty Years' War, the play follows the indomitable Mother Courage, a canteen wagon-pulling profiteer who attempts to keep her business — and her children — alive amid chaos and conflict. Known for its stark realism and epic theatre style, Brecht’s masterpiece challenges audiences to question the true price of survival and the moral compromises made in wartime. Gripping, thought-provoking, and painfully relevant, Mother Courage remains one of the most important works of 20th-century theatre.
