Mother Courage 26

About Mother Courage 26

Mother Courage 26 at Shakespeare’s Globe is a new production of Bertolt Brecht’s anti-war masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children. It is the first time Brecht has been staged at the Globe. The story follows Mother Courage as she drags her cart through a world of war, scarcity and greed, trying to keep herself and her children alive.

Translated by Anna Jordan and directed by Globe Associate Artist Elle While, the production is described as a modern staging of a classic protest piece. It uses live music, biting humour and raw determination to explore survival, capitalism and complicity.

The production is presented as a darkly hedonistic staging that will bring the yard vividly to life with fury, empathy and joy-as-rebellion.

This production features live music and stars Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry in the title role.
