Mother Courage. |
With war raging all around, a desperate woman strives
to keep her business and her family alive. Brecht tells the story
of Mother Courage - ironically nicknamed for her less-than-heroic
actions under fire - with a dazzling blend of pathos and burlesque,
mocking her foolhardiness while sympathizing with her wretched plight.
This epic masterpiece of struggle and survival will be given a visionary
new production by the young Hungarian director János
Szász. |
