UGA Theatre: Mother Courage & Her Children

Set against the backdrop of the Thirty Year’s War, Mother Courage and Her Children follows the resilient and enterprising Mother Courage as she traverses and scavenges war-torn landscapes, profiting from the ongoing conflict while providing for her three children. As she navigates this world, Courage must contend with the tragic consequences of prioritizing personal gain over compassion and empathy in Bertolt Brecht and Margarete Steffin’s timeless critique of war, capitalism, and the strength of values in the face of untold adversity.
