Greenwich & Lewisham Young People’s Theatre & Teatro Vivo present
A site specific promenade production of
Mother Courage and Her Children
on The Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.
5th – 21st September
As we mark 100 years since the start of the First World War, join GLYPT & Teatro Vivo
for this moving adaptation of Brecht’s famous play.
Immerse yourself in this promenade piece which takes place around the historical Royal Arsenal site.
‘Like the War to nourish you? Got to feed it something too’
Mother Courage and Her Children, written in 1939, tells a remarkably relevant story of loss, courage and cruelty. Sophie Austin’s timeless interpretation balances the realities of modern day conflict with humanity’s remarkable determination to carry on regardless of what is thrown at it.
Follow Brecht’s masterpiece as it unfurls down the Royal Arsenal’s dramatic parades, once home to the world’s largest arms and munitions factory. Witness the site come to life with original music, unexpected humour and extraordinary characters.
