Welcome to Litsy!

Thirty Years War (1618-1648):Mother Courage,a shrewd woman travelling through Poland,Italy and Germany with her canteen business contained in a cart,struggles to keep herself and her 3 children alive.She needs the war to survive-mainly making business with the troops but the war kills everyone she loves.At the end of the play, she is the only survivor, yet still follows the army caravan with her cart. War has no meaning and teaches us nothing.

Was in the ensemble for my college‘s production freshman year. My director‘s instruction was “you can‘t be big enough.”

Every scene in this play starts funny, witty, then while you're laughing something serious happens and your face kind of freezes like 'should I still be laughing?'. Kind of like real life. Amazing. Definitely recommend this and I hope some day I will get to see it on stage.
