MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN

SEASON 2005

Written by Bertolt Brecht
Translation by David Hare
Directed by Jessica Kubzansky

In this brilliant epic tale, still terrifyingly relevant today, the indomitable Mother Courage haggles with war’s vile logic. The mad circus of war– as a business, as an inevitability, as the crucible that cripples the human spirit–explodes with the bold theatricality of spectacle, song, and dance, colliding to create an extravaganza of wild hilarity and heartbreak.

“Compelling.” – Pasadena Star News

“Captures the dark humor, thought-provoking drama, and potent theatricality of the idiosyncratic Brechtian style…a stirring rendition of one of the 20th century’s most challenging classics.” – Backstage West

“Stylish…striking.” – LA Weekly

“The Theatre @ Boston Court production livens up the original text (translated by David Hare) with a heavy, aggressive beat and original music…making this a darkly vivid musical.” – Pasadena Weekly

“Camille Saviola is superb…her final scenes are heartbreaking in the simplicity and power of her acting.” – Variety

“When a show gives you this much to think about, the result is as energizing as it is exhausting.” – LA Times
