DESCRIPTION

Edge Theatre Ensemble presents Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and her Children in a modern translation by award-winning playwright David Hare.

Considered by many to be one of the greatest dramatic creations of the modern stage, "Mother Courage and Her Children" is Bertolt Brecht's most passionate and profound statement against war. The epic drama follows Mother Courage as she attempts to achieve her goals of making a profit and keeping her children alive through the blood and destruction of the Thirty Years War.

Time Out declares that David Hare's timely translation "bristles with gutsy cynicism and is funny in the right, black comic way." Presenting Seattle actress Betty Campbell in the title role and featuring new music by Andy Clawson performed live, the Ensemble brings to life what Lillian Hellman called one of the truly "great plays of our time."
