Description By Bertolt Brecht. "Mother Courage is epic theatre, in the sense that it draws the attention of the audience towards great societal issues, rather than individual conflicts. Based on events during the 30 year war (1618-1648) and completed in an era of Fascism and Nazism, Mother Courage is about propaganda and the monumental machine that generates it."
