Mother Courage

Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies presents...

The world turns, torn apart by endless war.

Anna Fierling, known as Mother Courage, struggles to keep her business afloat – and her three children alive.

But what happens to the innocent when profit is valued above people?

“In the dark times

Will there also be singing?
