When he's plastered this Finnish landowner drips with sugary human kindness; once sober again, he's a tyrannical bastard... Lee Hall mixes in-your-face contemporary slang with endearing jokes....It's not often that you can write 'Bertolt Brecht' and 'knockabout fun' in the same sentence\" - Paul Taylor, Independent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOTHER COURAGE: For Mother Courage, war is strictly business - a chance to trade in boots and brandy. She's determined to profit from the thirty years war, while protecting her family from the bloodshed that surrounds them.
