What else is war but competition? A profit-building enterprise!

Even after the war starts consuming her kids, Mother Courage reminds us not to knock it. War forges virtue and cash. War feeds its people better. Peace produces zip. No innovation or heroes or people with courage. And the world needs courage, doesn’t it?

Mother Courage and Her Children is Brecht’s most ambitious play. It’s a warning shot fired from a century ravaged by total war.

After 80 years of unsurpassed influence, it remains sardonic, compassionate, drunk, camp, muddy, epic, tiny, strange, hilarious, brutal and shockingly alive.
