Siblings Olympia and Apollo Dukakis are hitting the stage together for “Mother Courage and Her Children,” a play presented by Shakespeare & Company.
Considered by many to be one of the greatest plays of the 20th Century, “Mother Courage and Her Children” is set against the backdrop of the Thirty Years War and follows the fate of Mother Courage, an artful canteen woman with the Swedish Army, intent on keeping her business and family alive amid the destruction of war.
Olympia and director Tony Simotes teamed up for “Mother Courage” after previously working together on “The Tempest” for Shakespeare & Company.
“I consider Shakespeare & Company one of my artistic homes – a place of artistic support and enthusiasm. I jumped at the chance to get in the room with Tony and my brother again,” Dukakis said.
Performances begin July 26 and run through August 25 at the Tina Packer Playhouse, located at 70 Kemble St., Lenox, MA, 01240. Tickets are now available. For more information, visit www.shakespeare.org or call 413-637-3353.
