[EAN: 9781408125755], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Methuen Drama], PLAYS, PLAYSCRIPTS, 112 pages. Mother Courage was first performed in Zurich in 19 41 and is usually seen as Brecht's greatest work. Remaining a pow erful indictment of war and social injustice, it is an epic drama set in the seventeenth century during the Thirty Years' War. The plot follows the resilient Mother Courage who survives by runnin g a commissary business that profits from all sides. As the war c laims all of her children in turn, the play poignantly demonstrat es that no one can profit from the war without being subject to i ts terrible cost also. This translation by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner is contemporary and lively, with accessi ble and humour language, an easy conversational flow, sympathetic , understandable characters and humour. Kushner makes a classic p lay which is notoriously difficult to perform both stage and read er friendly. It was staged at the National Theatre directed by De borah Warner and starring Fiona Shaw in September 2009.
