Mother Courage and her Children at Trap Door Theatre

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...A production by Trap Door Theatre, directed by Max Truax based on a translation by Eric Bentley and featuring original music composed by Jonathan Guillen, graced Chicago last year. Now it's back for an extremely limited run, with Holly Cerney reprising the iconic titular role as a cynical but loving mother trying to scratch out a living for herself as a camp follower during the devastating Thirty Years War. And while I'll spend the rest of this review explaining why, the short version is that I can hardly imagine a better performance of this text."
