GUEST PRODUCTION: THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE by Bertolt Brecht / trans. Eric Bentley

A revolution, a rescue, a reckoning, a redemption. Brecht’s classic story of the kitchen girl who adopts an abandoned baby in a time of bloodshed never stops being relevant. Compassion or self-preservation? Safety or love? Justice or law? What impulse drives a person to put themselves in danger for another? And how far will they go to protect the beloved? This story of personal struggle mirrors and is mirrored in the political framework in which it plays out. By turns funny, haunting, incisive, and savage, this production brings Brecht's masterpiece into sharp focus in today's world.
Featuring a talented ensemble of actors, including Erica Dutton, Joanna Hastings, Forrest Hejkal, Steve Oliver, Lucy Price, Eddie Rothermel, Scott Screws, and Kylie Stidham.
Co-directed by Joanna Hastings and Scott Screws. (less)
