About Mother Courage and Her Children - Globe
Shakespeare’s Globe welcomes revolutionary playwright Brecht to the stage for the very first time with a new production of his anti-war masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children.
War rages. Resources are scarce. Hope is a luxury. Mother Courage drags her cart through a wasteland stripped bare by greed and conflict – a profiteer, a survivor, and a mother. She’s learnt to make a living from war, and she’ll sell whatever’s left of humanity to keep herself and her children alive.
In the business of war, every victory costs her something – and eventually, everything.
Filled with live music, biting humour and raw determination, this modern staging of a classic protest piece, translated by Anna Jordan (Succession, Yen, Lost Atoms) and directed by Globe Associate Artist Elle While (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Globe), asks urgent questions about survival, capitalism and complicity.
Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, Hamlet, Globe) leads as one of theatre’s mightiest and most complex female characters, in a darkly hedonistic production that will bring the yard vividly to life with fury, empathy and joy-as-rebellion.
Visceral, defiant and ferociously human.
