WIN DOUBLE PASSES TO MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN
25 May – 16 June, Playhouse, QPAC Bertolt Brecht’s epic morality tale about the ravages of war is given a unique twist by Queensland Theatre Company Artistic Director Wesley Enoch and Paula Nazarski in a dazzling new translation. Instead of the ‘Thirty Years’ War of 1600s Europe, this near-future incarnation of the age-old story is set against the bleak backdrop of a post-apocalyptic desert where Mad Max might be at home - an Australia ravaged by devastating conflict, where life is cheap but business is still business. Featuring an all-Indigenous cast, starring Ursula Yovich and David Page.
