Theatre Visit: Mother Courage
A2 German Students went to see the acclaimed performance of Brecht’s masterpiece ‘Mother Courage and her children’ at the National Theatre on Wednesday, October 21. Brecht’s tragedy of war is brought up to date for the 21st century, presenting war’s unpredictability, fever, ferocity – and perverse magnetism (The Times). The students will study Brecht’s work next term in preparation for their A-Level German.
