Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War, the narrative follows Mother Courage, a determined woman who operates a commissary to profit from the conflict. As she loses her children to the ravages of war, the play serves as a poignant critique of the costs of conflict and social injustice. This translation by Tony Kushner revitalizes Brecht's classic with accessible language, humor, and relatable characters, making it suitable for both stage performances and readers. The 2009 National Theatre production featured Fiona Shaw in the lead role.
