An uncompromising masterpiece, don't miss its run at the Globe this season.

wHAT IS THE sTORY?

In the heat of war, Mother Courage pulls her cart across the battlefields, doing whatever she can to keep herself and her children surviving another day. As human greed strips resources to the bare minimum for those left, she's learnt to profiteer from the war and the desolation left in its wake... but it's a war that may destroy her children, one by one.
