*Mother Courage* was first performed in Zurich in 1941 and is often seen as
Brecht's greatest work. Remaining a powerful indictment of war and social
injustice, it is an epic drama set in the seventeenth century during the
Thirty Years' War. The plot follows the resilient Mother Courage who
survives by running a commissary business that profits from all sides. As
the war claims all of her children in turn, the play poignantly
demonstrates that no one can profit from the war without being subject to
its terrible cost also.


*“The translation, by American playwright Tony Kushner, is fast-moving,
articulate, and reaches the heart of Brecht's reasonings"  -Daily Express**The
play received its American premiere at The Cleveland Playhouse in 1958!
