Shakespeare’s Globe welcomes revolutionary playwright Brecht to the stage for the very first time with a new production of his anti-war masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children. 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. Filled with live music, biting humour and raw determination, this modern staging of a classic protest piece, translated by Anna Jordan (Succession, Yen, Lost Atoms) and directed by Globe Associate Artist Elle While (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Globe), asks urgent questions about survival, capitalism and complicity. Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, Hamlet, Globe) leads as one of theatre’s mightiest and most complex female characters, in a darkly hedonistic production that will bring the yard vividly to life with fury, empathy and joy-as-rebellion. Visceral, defiant and ferociously human. CAPTIONED: Saturday, 30th May, 7:30pm, Thursday, 4th June, 7:30pm BSL SIGNED: Monday, 1st June, 7:30pm, Saturday, 20th June, 2:00pm RELAXED: Saturday, 6th June, 2:00pm, Friday, 19th June, 2:00pm AUDIO DESCRIBED: Wednesday, 24th June, 2:00pm

This Summer, see Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost as you’ve never experienced it before, in this blazing, flamenco-inspired new production. Passion, power, and poetry collide as four women arrive in Navarre on a diplomatic mission, testing the devotion of the King and his lords whose vows are undone by love, desire and wit. In her Globe Theatre directing debut, Associate Artist Indiana Lown-Collins (former Globe Resident Artist, JMK Award winner for The Solid Life of Sugar Water, Orange Tree Theatre) channels the warmth and vibrancy of her rural Spanish roots into this celebrated comedy, igniting it with the feeling and artistry of flamenco. Step into a world of rhythm and fiery romantic tension, where joy and revelry mingle with longing, grief, and melancholy. Rarely staged, Love’s Labour’s Lost is a raw, refreshingly human comedy that celebrates our desire for connection and dares to leave love unresolved. CAPTIONED: Friday, 28th August, 7:30pm, Saturday, 5th September, 7:30pm RELAXED: Saturday, 29th August, 2:00pm, Tuesday, 8th September, 7:30pm BSL SIGNED: Sunday, 30th August, 1:00pm, Thursday, 3rd September, 7:30pm AUDIO DESCRIBED: Sunday, 6th September, 1:00pm
