Mother Courage and Her Children
by Bertolt Brecht
translated by Eric Bentley
directed by Garrett Allen
A shrewd businesswoman, Mother Courage follows armies across the continent in hopes of profiting off the conflict—and shielding her children from the war’s corruptive horrors. As the struggles rage on, she refuses to yield no matter its moral cost, asking us: when does courage stop and cowardice begin? Mother Courage and Her Children is a searing, continually relevant, anti-war epic by one of the 20th century’s distinguished playwrights, performed by the next-generation theater-makers of the Brown/Trinity Rep’s MFA Program in Acting.
