The National Theatre has announced the full cast and creative team for its upcoming production of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children. The show will play the Olivier, running September 9 through December 8.
It isn't easy, starting a war, but nothing worthwhile is easy. And once you're in, you're hooked like a gambler, you can't afford to walk away from the crapshoot once you're deep into it.
Fiona Shaw returns to the National to take the title role in Tony Kushner's inventive and vigorous translation of Bertolt Brecht's uncompromising masterpiece. New live music by Duke Special and his band infuses this wildfire production from the team whose many international credits include Happy Days and Medea.
'Mother Courage' will also feature Anthony Mark Barrow, William J Cassidy, Johannes Flaschberger, Peter Gowen, Jonathan Gunthorpe, Stephen Kennedy, Youssef Kerkour, Martin Marquez, Louis McKenzie, Kyle McPhail, Siobhán McSweeney, Harry Melling, Eleanor Montgomery, Stephen O'Toole, Charlotte Randle, Guy Rhys, Clifford Samuel, Gary Sefton, Roger Sloman, Colin Stinton, Sophie Stone, Morgan Watkins, and Sargon Yelda.
