Theater of War

This revelatory documentary gives us a unique opportunity to watch the peerless Meryl Streep develop her interpretation of the monumental title role in Mother Courage. Director John Walter’s film is also a tribute to playwright/poet Bertolt Brecht–whose theatrical indictment of the profit-driven business of war resonates as sharply today as it did in its 1941 debut.
