Mother Courage and her Children

Bertolt Brecht’s chronicle of the Thirty Years War receives a post-modern production from the Knightsbridge Theatre by acclaimed director-designer Dana Moran Williams.

A masterwork by one of the most influential playwrights of the 20th century, Mother Courage and her Children, follows the travels of the canteen-woman, Anna Fierling, as she earns her living and her families keep by following the Protestant and Catholic armies across Europe selling them supplies. She becomes just as dependent on the war machine as the war is dependent upon a fresh supply of young men, her two sons included. “Want the war to nourish you? You must feed it something too.”
