Even when addressing serious themes, theatre brings us entertainment and pleasure. There are lower and higher forms of entertainment—and theatre encompasses both. There is weaker and stronger pleasure—the latter arises from great drama; it is richer and has deeper consequences.These words belong to Bertolt Brecht, the author of Mother Courage and Her Children, who proves that even the most dramatic storyline can be presented in a way that both entertains audiences and actively engages them in reflection on the events unfolding on stage.The suffering of war—and the benefits drawn from it; the peace of peacetime—and its complacency; care for others—and humanity’s inherent selfishness; lofty human dreams—and moral degradation; the freedom to choose—and the deliberate refusal to do so—these clashes seek resolution in Mother Courage and Her Children.A powerful theatrical experience, crafted according to the recipe of Bertolt Brecht.
