Theater of War

An intelligent, esoteric, behind-the-scenes, theater-lovers 2008 documentary that shows the artistic process of actors Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline as they rehearse to star in the Manhattan Public Theater's Central Park 2006 production of the Brecht's 1939 play Mother Courage and Her Children, which was translated by Tony Kushner and directed by George C. Wolfe, gives fascinating background information regarding the German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht, and shows the parallelisms and symbiotic relationship of politics, art, theater, capitalism, and war especially with respect to the Iraq War.
