Mother Courage and Her Children

“Mother Courage” is an unrelenting yet darkly comedic look at the effects of war on people and society. This brilliant adaptation follows Anna Fierling (Mother Courage) as she drags her cart across war-torn towns and battlefields. She makes a huge profit, but at what cost?
This politically charged, epic journey begins and ends in sorrow, and award-winning playwright Tony Kushner does an excellent job bringing Bertolt Brecht’s scathing play to modern life with his luxurious use of language and imagery.
The play “is a story about human life and the loss required to live in a modern world,” director Shane Lutz said. “The motley crew of characters refuse to lay down and wallow in their problems. These movers, shakers and money-makers sing, dance, cook, preach, fight, play and confront the impossible choices before them, and Brecht forces us to ask if they made the right ones.”
