Mother Courage and Her Children
'Only the dead have seen the end of war' (George Santanyana).
Mother Courage and Her Children, Bertolt Brecht's epic drama, though set firmly in the period of the 30 Years War, carries with it the burden of all wars past, passing and to come. Chronicling the journey of Mother Courage and her canteen wagon as it criss-crosses war ravaged Europe, serving the troops of both sides, the play examines the mechanics and consequences of war.
