"The main thing is that the rebellion start off by despising make-believe. If we behave like the other side, then we are on the other side. Instead of changing the world, all we'll achieve is a reflection of the one we want to destroy." -- Jean Genet

Written & Directed by Subversive Theatre's Founder & Artistic Director Kurt Schneiderman, MOTHER DIS-COURAGE is a zany anti-war spoof that pits the Spirit of Bertolt Brecht against Britney Spears and John Lennon against George Orwell as they fight for the hearts and minds of one American soldier in Iraq and his peace-nik mother. Blending modern-day anti-war issues with brutal tragedy and wacky vaudeville-esque comedy, MOTHER DIS-COURAGE is precisely the kind of irreverent, inflammatory, and off-the-wall play that Subversive Theatre prides itself on. This production features the acting talents of Mary Moebius* in the title role, Rick Lattimer as Son Dis-Courage, Keith Elkins as the Spirit of Bertolt Brecht, Sarah Orloff* as Britney Spears, Michael Karr as the Spirits of both John Lennon and George Orwell, and Jamie Hamilton* as both Mr. Money Bags and Paul McCartney.
