Summary:

Mother Courage and Her Children is a classic in the repertory of
Western theater. Written in response to the outbreak of World War II,
this “chronicle play” of the Thirty Years War follows one of Brecht’s
most enduring characters, Courage, as she trails the armies across
Europe, selling provisions from her canteen wagon. However, Courage
pays the highest price of all. One by one, her children are devoured
by violence, but she will not give up her livelihood—the wagon and
the war.
