Mor Courage Och Hennes Barn; Den Kaukasiska Kritcirkeln by Bertolt Brecht

Two politically sharp stage parables contrast the human cost of war and the demands of justice: one follows a resourceful canteen woman who tries to turn conflict into profit while repeatedly sacrificing her children and her conscience, the other tells of a servant girl who rescues an abandoned infant and is later pitted against power and law in a dramatic test of true parenthood; together they use songs, episodic structure, and theatrical distance to provoke reflection on survival, morality, property and collective responsibility.
