	A Model of Courage
		Helene Weigel, Brecht's wife and the co-founder of the Berliner Ensemble, gave the first German performance of Mother Courage at Berlin's Deutsches Theater in 1949, and after more than fifty years, her portrayal of the resourceful peddler who makes a living from the Thirty Years War remains definitive.
		Although Weigel's is the most famous portrayal of Mother Courage, it was not for her that Brecht first wrote the part.
		Weigel was perhaps the finest of all epic actors; "Her way of playing Mother Courage was hard and angry" Brecht once wrote, "that is, her Mother Courage was not angry; she herself, the actress, was angry" at the stupidity of the character she was playing.

	Guardian \| A taste of the bourgeois charms of the Brecht household
		Weigel stayed on until her death in 1971.
		It was she who saw to the decoration and furnishing of the house and while much of it is in exquisite taste, the conservatory hosts a collection of pewter plates and jugs and a green glass fishing float of the sort you once saw in cheap Italian restaurants.
		Notwithstanding the commercialisation of Helene Weigel's cookbook, it exists not to embrace capitalism, but to celebrate the lives of two of its more dogged opponents - and certainly the service at table on the day we dropped in gave little quarter to decadent bourgeois expectations.

		Helene Weigel, the Austrian actress whom the poet and playwright had married in 1929, lay interred beside him.
		It's August 1956; Brecht, Weigel, and their daughter, along with a scattered assortment of his past and present lovers, friends, and coworkers, are spending a final summer afternoon at Buckow, the lakeside retreat where Brecht penned his late elegies.

		Also, Honegger will trace Weigelâs extraordinary life from her Central European Jewish heritage to her growing years as a woman in fin-de-siÃ©cle Vienna, and how her cultural roots shaped her later personal, political and artistic choices.

		The collaboration with screenwriter Klaus Pohl was "very stimulating because he could contribute a lot from his experiences as a playwright and actor", Schütte notes, adding that, coincidentally, Pohl's wife is the niece of Helene Weigel.
		Set in 1956 just a few days before the great dramatist's death, the film shows Brecht surrounded by close friends and former lovers as he reflects on his life and role as an artist.
		Schütte points out, though, that, "the cinema-goers will be able to understand the whole film without knowing who Brecht was or being aware of the whole background".

		Similarly, Helene Weigel has defined the title character of Mother Courage for generations.
		Anyone staging the travails of this sutler from the Thirty Years' War wrestles with the legacy of Weigel's "silent scream"—when Mother Courage learns that her son, Swiss Cheese, has been shot, she stifles her sorrow to avoid jeopardizing her own life.
		Ironically, the Classical Theater of Harlem, stumbling elsewhere in the production, leaps over this particular hurdle with subtlety and grace; Gwendolyn Mulamba, as Mother Courage, simply moves her hand to her gut while her torso ever so gently collapses.
