A PLAY ON WAR


INSPIRED BY BRECHT'S MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN
A World Premiere

Written by Jenny Connell
Conceived and Directed by Rubén Polendo
In collaboration with the National Asian American Theatre Company (NAATCO)
Winter 2010

A woman obsessed with The Sound of Music predicts the death of her children during wartime. Can foresight change the turn of events?
Inspired by Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children and using abstractions of musical theatre, Arabic clowning, and Peking opera, A Play on War is a dark comedy set in a war-torn landscape populated by characters on bicycles, all desperate to survive.
