Caucasian Chalk Circle
“Brecht’s 1945 adaptation of the Chinese play The Chalk Circle, written in 1300, speaks more directly to today’s culture than do most modern political plays.” – Backstage
Synopsis
The DAN School of Drama and Music presents Bertolt Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle; a play that blends sharp wit with a moving story of sacrifice and justice. In the midst of war and upheaval, a servant girl makes a life-changing choice to protect an abandoned child. Her action leads to a trial that asks what it truly means to do the right thing.
This production, staged in the Rotunda Theatre and directed by Greg Wanless, combines inventive storytelling, puppeteering, and original music to bring Brecht’s classic to life. It stands as a testament to the talent and commitment of the students whose work has shaped this production.
