Buy Cheap Mother Courage and her Children tickets | Globe Theatre, London's West End

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre welcomes revolutionary playwright Brecht to the stage for the very first time with a new production of his anti-war masterpiece, MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN.

Filled with live music, biting humour and raw determination, this modern staging of a classic protest piece, translated by Anna Jordan (Succession, Yen, Lost Atoms) and directed by Globe Associate Artist Elle While (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Globe), asks urgent questions about survival, capitalism and complicity.

Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, Hamlet, Globe) leads as one of theatre’s mightiest and most complex female characters, in a darkly hedonistic production that will bring the yard vividly to life with fury, empathy and joy-as-rebellion.

Visceral, defiant and ferociously human.

What is Mother Courage and her Children about?

War rages. Resources are scarce. Hope is a luxury. Mother Courage drags her cart through a wasteland stripped bare by greed and conflict – a profiteer, a survivor, and a mother. She’s learnt to make a living from war, and she’ll sell whatever’s left of humanity to keep herself and her children alive.

In the business of war, every victory costs her something – and eventually, everything.

Located on the bank of the River Thames in Bankside's Cultural Quarter, Shakespeare's Globe welcomes thousands of visitors to experience world renowned productions of Shakespeare every day. Founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, Shakespeare's Globe stands a few hundred yards from its original site. Other than concessions to comply with modern day fire regulations, the Globe is as accurate a reconstruction of the 1599 Globe as was possible with the available evidence. Shakespeare's Globe is best accessed on foot. There are excellent footpaths along the river from Waterloo and from Southwark Bridge. The Millennium Footbridge is 50 metres from the Theatre.
