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 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!
