Mother Courage is considered by some to be the greatest play of the 20th century, and perhaps also the greatest anti-war play of all time. It follows the fortunes of Anna Fierling, nicknamed Mother Courage, a wily canteen woman with the Swedish Army, who is determined to make her living from the war.

Over the course of the play, she loses all three of her children, Schweizerkas (Swiss Cheese), Eilif, and Kattrin, to the very war from which she tried to profit.
