Ma Kuraġġ u Wliedha (Mother Courage and Her Children) is the antiwar stage-play written by exiled German dramatist Bertolt Brecht, now translated into Maltese by Loranne Vella. Set in seventeenth-century Europe, the play follows Anna Fierling, our Mother Courage. Along with her three children, Anna operates a rolling canteen business during the Thirty Years War. Played by veteran actor Josette Ciappara, she fiercely travels across Europe in a covered wagon, selling goods to locals and alcohol to soldiers to make a head-earned living.

This is a Teatru Malta co-production with Teatru Manoel.
