"This new version by Oladipo Agboluaje is a remarkable achievement.”
The Times - Thurs 12th Feb 2004
"Oladipo Agboluaje’s new adaptation… is sufficiently roadworthy to run and run.”
The Guardian - Thurs 12th Feb 2004
An Eclipse Production, opening at Nottingham Playhouse and touring nationally.
Mother Courage is a travelling merchant - bloody battlefields are her marketplace, and the cart, dragged by her children, her stall. Her business in life is profit and her allegiance lies nowhere - except with herself.
This epic masterpiece is a powerful reminder of how humanity is affected by war and what is lost by those who survive it. Told with humour and song, Mother Courage is a remarkable story of one woman’s survival and remains one of Bertolt Brecht’s greatest plays.
Mother Courage and Her Children is the second Eclipse Theatre production.
