Mother Courage and Her Children Theatre Tickets

Transport yourself back to a time when war was rampant and women were some of the bravest soldiers in the war after you buy Mother Courage and Her Children tickets to see this epic play unfold live on stage. The anti-wary play was originally written by German poet Bertolt Brecht and had its premiere in 1941. During its first few years on stage, the play ran throughout Switzerland and Germany. Shortly after Brecht died in 1956, the play was adapted into a German film entitled Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder (1961). Several adaptations have been made in theatre since and now the play is often touted as one of the greatest anti-war plays of all time.
