Complete casting has now been confirmed for Anna Jordan’s translation of Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Mother Courage and Her Children’ which will officially open at the Shakespeare’s Globe on the 15th May.
Directed by Elle White, the cast will be comprised of: Rawaed Asde as Swiss Cheese, Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge as Sargeant / Clerk / Man, Eiden River-Coleman as Child, Rachelle Diedericks as Kattrin, Sarita Gabony as Woman / Soldier, Keaton Guimarães-Tolley as Recruiter / Fur Coat / Soldier, Vinnie Heaven as Eilif, Nadine Higgin as Yvette, Sienna-Rae Kenna-Braithwaite as Child, Daniel Rainford as Ensemble / Cover, Ferdy Roberts as Minister, Max Runham as Narrator, Simon Scardifield as General / Bloody Nose / Yellow Sergeant, Nicolas Tennant as Chef, Michelle Terry as Mother Courage, and Ayla Wheatley as Ensemble / Cover.
War rages. Resources are scarce. Hope is a luxury. Mother Courage drags her cart through a wasteland stripped bare by greed and conflict – a profiteer, a survivor, and a mother. She’s learnt to make a living from war, and she’ll sell whatever’s left of humanity to keep herself and her children alive.
In the business of war, every victory costs her something – and eventually, everything.
Director Elle While says: “Directing Brecht’s masterpiece in a brilliant adaptation by Anna Jordan is totally exhilarating.To add to that, this is a fantastically talented and huge-hearted cast.”
