Olympia Dukakis to Embody Mother Courage for Shakespeare & Company
(© Tristan Fuge)
Set against the backdrop of the Thirty Years War, the play follows an artful canteen woman intent on keeping her business and family alive amid the destruction of war – and not necessarily succeeding.
The family ties extend beyond the play itself, as Dukakis' brother, Apollo Dukakis, will be a featured player in the production.
Olympia Dukakis won her Oscar for her supporting performance in Moonstruck. She was Drama Desk-nominated for her solo turn in Broadway's Rose, and has appeared Off-Broadway and regionally in numerous stage works.
