Mother Courage and Her Children was a German play written in 1939 by the German dramatist and poet Bertolt Brecht (1898 – 1956). Nicknamed "Mother Courage," a crafty canteen woman with the Swedish Army who is determined to make her living from the war. Over the course of the play, she loses all three of her children, Swiss Cheese, Eilif, and Katrin, to the war.
Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children is among the playwright's best work and the most powerful anti-war dramas in history. The play is based on two works by Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen: his 1669 novel, Simplicissimus and his 1670 play, Courage: An Adventuress. Many critics believe Mother Courage to be the masterwork of Brecht's concept of Epic Theater. Mother Courage was written in 1938-39, just as World War II was breaking out in Europe. Brecht completed the play while living in exile, confronting a rising fascist government. It was first produced in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1939.
Show Biography - Mother Courage And Her Children
In this chronicle of the Thirty Years War, Mother Courage follows the armies back and forth across Europe, selling provisions and liquor from her canteen wagon. One by one she loses her children to the war but will not part with her livelihood - the wagon. The Berlin production of 1949, with Helene Weigel as Mother Courage, marked the foundation of the Berliner Ensemble. Brecht wanted audiences to think objectively about the play's message, to assess the effects of war on an empirical level. The play is regarded as one of the twentieth century's landmark dramas and a potent condemnation of war. Brecht got down to reform German theatre. In his eyes theatre ought to confront social problems. During the WW II he wanders through Europe and finally settles in the States. Due to his communist ideas as reflected in 'Galileo' he decides to return to Europe and moves to the German Democratic Republic to finally live according to his political principles. The Observer comments Brecht as "One of the greatest poets and dramatists of our century."
