MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN
By Bertolt Brecht
Translated by John Willett
Brecht’s epic masterpiece of struggle and survival
A war rages on while the worldly-wise Mother Courage seeks her fortune selling goods to the soldiers. But the war exacts a price - as war always does - and Mother Courage's soaring profits are tempered by searing loss. Directed by Gerry Mulgrew (Peer Gynt), Dundee Rep Ensemble present Brecht’s deeply moving and powerfully relevant production.
Using only her wits and sheer will Mother Courage determinedly follows a series of faceless armies across the land in an effort to make a living for herself and her family; though, one by one, her children are lost to the very violence from which she profits.
In Mother Courage we are reminded of the dreadfulness of war and that virtues are not rewarded in corrupt times
First performed in 1941 Mother Courage is often hailed as Brecht’s best work.
