The Caucasian Chalk Circle
Large Mixed Cast
Bertolt Brecht trans Frank McGuinness Price: $16.95
A morality masterpiece, The Caucasian Chalk Circle powerfully demonstrates Brecht’s pioneering theatrical techniques
A servant girl sacrifices everything to protect a child abandoned in the heat of civil war
Order restored, she is made to confront the boy’s biological mother in a legal contest over who deserves to keep him
The comical judge calls on an ancient tradition – the chalk circle – to resolve the dispute
Who wins?
This version by Frank McGuinness was first presented by the National Theatre in 1997 and revived in 2007, opening at the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury, on 8 January
