★★★★  Broadwayworld
"a blunt and brutal production of Brecht's great anti-war play...essential theatre viewing"
★★★★  British Theatre
"a notable revival ,above all for the layered, raucous, still sensitive and anguished performance of Josie Lawrence at its centre, but also for the fine ensemble values of the production"

In a land ravaged by war, Mother Courage pulls her cart with her three children in the wake of the army, trading with soldiers and attempting to make profit from the war.


Widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, Brecht's Mother Courage And Her Children has been described as the greatest anti-war play of all time.


In Pulitzer Prize-winning Tony Kushner's (Angels in America) translation, Mother Courage remains a timely exploration of displacement, war weariness and invisible enemies. It mirrored then, as it does now, the growing fear at the ever-advancing threat of terror infiltrating our everyday lives and our desire to protect ourselves and what is ours at any cost.


"War is hell, as it is assumed to be by most people who haven't lived through it, and known to be by nearly everyone who has" Tony Kushner
