Mother Courage and Her Children in Saint Petersburg, Alexandrinsky Theater

Theodoros Terzopoulos is staging Bertolt Brecht's most interesting play “Mother Courage and Her Children” in St. Petersburg! The performance will take place at the Alexandrinsky Theater.

Stage director Theodoros Terzopoulos is a master of his craft and a leading world theater expert on ancient Greek tragedy. He studied with Brecht's followers, and also staged a number of his theatrical works: “The Bakery”, “The Red-Browns” and others.

The main character of the play, Mother Courage, travels with her children in a van in order to earn money. The danger of the border zones lies in the ongoing Thirty Years' War, which brings with it devastation and hunger. Successful trade and the desire for wealth have blinded Courage, she does not even notice how she is losing her children. Mother’s peculiar motto is “it’s better to talk about morality when you’re well-fed, not when you’re hungry.”

The play is a bright representative of the “epic theater” performed by famous actors under the direction of the master of tragedy. This is an event not to be missed! Buy tickets online on our website without leaving your home.
