<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This version of Brecht's great anti-war play by playwright David Hare was premiered by the National Theatre, London, in November 1995. It adopts a freer approach to the text than many editions, adapting the original rather than offering a close translation. In this chronicle of the Thirty Years War, Mother Courage follows<br>the armies back and forth across Europe, selling provisions and liquor<br>from her canteen wagon. One by one she loses her children to the war<br>but will not part with her livelihood - the wagon. The Berlin<br>production of 1949, with Helene Weigel as Mother Courage, marked the<br>foundation of the Berliner Ensemble. <br>Considered by many to<br>be one of the greatest anti-war plays ever written and Brecht's<br>masterpiece, it remains a powerful example of Brecht's Epic Theatre and pioneering theatrical style.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"At last--the definitive translations of one of the 20th century's most influential playwrights...Far superior to the competition." --<i>Theatre Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A major dramatist of the twentieth century, Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) was the founder of one of the most influential theatre companies, the Berliner Ensemble, and the creator of some of the landmark plays of the twentieth century: <i>The Threepenny Opera</i>, <i>The Life of Galileo</i>, <i>Mother Courage</i> and <i>The Caucasian Chalk Circle. </i>His plays and dramatic theory are central to the study of modern theatre.
