About
About Mother Courage 26
Mother Courage 26 at Shakespeare’s Globe is a new production of Brecht’s anti-war masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children. The story follows Mother Courage as she drags her cart through a wasteland stripped bare by greed and conflict, making a living from war while trying to keep herself and her children alive.
This modern staging includes live music, biting humour and raw determination. It is translated by Anna Jordan and directed by Globe Associate Artist Elle While, and it explores survival, capitalism and complicity.
Key facts: Shakespeare’s Globe is staging Brecht for the first time; Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry leads the production; the show is a modern staging of a classic protest piece.
