The play, inspired by Brecht’s Mother Courage, is set in a
bar in a small mining town in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As
tales of local atrocities spread and tensions between rebels and
government militia rise, shrewd Mama Nadi must reassess her business
priorities and personal loyalties when two girls arrive tainted by
their recent past. Indhu Rubasingham directs.
