Mother Courage and her Children

Mother Courage and her Children in Repertory

Written by Bertolt Brecht

Translated by Eric Bentley

Directed by Max Truax

Mother Courage becomes a parasite of war as she, hell bent on her own survival, celebrates the Thirty Years War as the source of her prosperity. Considered one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, wartime virtues become fatal to their possessors in this stark, anti-capitalist, and music filled play. After a fully sold out extended run in Trap Door’s 30th season Mother Courage and her Children returns to tell her epic story once more.

Trap Door Theatre is thrilled to offer some of its favorite productions in repertory for its 31st season. Catch these productions throughout our regular season, featuring new casts, designers, and new life brought to them!

Featuring: Rashaad Bond, Holly Cerney, Caleb Lee Jenkins, David Lovejoy, Nena Martins, Emily Nichelson, Tricia Rogers, and Kevin Webb.
