Mother Courage and her Children, Olivier Theatre, London
Often I sit back and watch you, amazed," the smitten Chaplain tells Mother Courage in Tony Kushner\'s bouncy new translation of Brecht\'s greatest play. He could be speaking for the entire audience in the Olivier, where Fiona Shaw is delivering a phenomenal performance as this war-profiteering "hyena of the battlefield". The actress\'s dynamism is matched by the extraordinary vitality of Deborah Warner\'s modern-dress production which keeps faith with Brecht\'s staging theories, while smashing through the po-faced pieties that normally attend them. Giving a wacky twist to the trappings of epic theatre, it feels about as hidebound by convention as a piece of urgent, breaking news.
