Mother Courage and Her Children

First Lines

Available for over a year

Exploring the themes and opening structure of 'Mother Courage and her children' written in 1939 by Bertolt Brecht. It has influenced Western theatre ever since, with the author's use of a 'collision montage' instead of a gradual unfolding of stories. With contributions from Malcolm Jones, Dr Robert Leach and Kathryn Hunter.
