About Mother Courage & her Children

A Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh production

War is relentless. But for some, it is business as usual.

Mother Courage trades her way across battlefields – fierce, pragmatic, and determined to keep her children alive. But in the business of war, every choice comes at a cost. One of the greatest anti-war plays ever written. Blending music, dark humour and striking theatricality, this urgent new production is clear-eyed and compelling, reimagined by Zinnie Harris (Macbeth (an Undoing), The Duchess (of Malfi)). 

A story of endurance, sacrifice, and what it means to go on.
