About Mother Courage and Her Children

War rages, resources are scarce, and hope is a dangerous luxury. In Mother Courage and Her Children, a hardened trader hauls her cart across a brutal war-torn landscape, surviving by profiting from the very conflict that threatens to destroy her family. 

Part survivor, part opportunist, Mother Courage bargains, barters, and compromises her way forward, convinced that staying in business is the only way to stay alive. But in a world where everything has a price, each victory costs her dearly, until the true price of survival becomes devastatingly clear. 

Packed with live music, dark humour, and fierce urgency, this modern staging of Brecht’s landmark anti-war play delivers a powerful critique of war, capitalism, and moral compromise that feels as relevant now as ever.
