Bertolt Brecht's "Mother Courage"

Terror Alert! Code Orange! The S.O.B. Theatre Co. has hijacked Bertollt Brechts Mother Courage and is driving it into the quagmire that is modern day Iraq! Brechts classic play is about a war of profit, dressed up by political leaders as a moral crusade." Sound familiar? In our current climate of fear and government deception, Mother Courage is now more relevant than ever. While keeping true to the plays anti-war dogma, the S.O.B.s revel in the absurd humor so abundant, and often overlooked, in Brechts work.

(PRWEB) December 31, 2004 -- The Sons of Beckett Theatre Company has been receiving critical acclaim since its inaugural production, Waiting for Godot (2002) was called "a zany bittersweet presentation" and superb" by LA Weekly.
