Anna Jordan News

Shakespeare's Globe released a trailer for MOTHER COURAGE, Anna Jordan's translation of Brecht's protest classic, featuring Michelle Terry in the title role of a war-ravaged world where armies fight not for countries, but for resources.

Michelle Terry, who is currently starring in Mother Courage and Her Children at Shakespeare's Globe, had to address an audience member who was texting during a performance. 

Putting a radical translation of the classic play into so iconic a venue doesn't quite work for all its chutzpah in conception and execution

SHakespeare's Globe will present Bertolt Brecht's MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN from 7 May to 27 June 2026, featuring a cast led by Michelle Terry as Mother Courage and directed by Elle While.

There’s nothing like a great love story. Jess and Robbie met and instantly fell head over heels for each other – well, almost. Then, it was bliss until it wasn’t. Stuck in a liminal space, they disclose their own versions of the facts. Frantic Assembly take on romance and loss in their new production, which originally premiered in Leicester last year. Lost Atoms candidly analyses the everyday tragedies that bring a relationship to an end. It’s uplifting, moving, and desperate in all the right moments. Written by Anna Jordan and directed by Scott Graham, the show doesn’t hide a grander purpose. There’s no apocalypse, no war, no climate emergency that’s being directly addressed – we just have two people trying to make it work. And that’s their crux.
