Fall Mainstage

The Caucasian Chalk Circle

By Bertolt Brecht
Directed by Wind D. Woods

Set against the backdrop of a fictional civil war, Brecht鈥檚 play tells the gripping story of Grusha, a poor servant girl who rescues and raises an abandoned noble child, Michael, despite the immense personal sacrifices it entails. When the boy's biological mother returns years later to reclaim him, the dispute is brought before the wily and unconventional judge, Azdak. The trial ultimately exposes the corrupt nature of power and affirms the play鈥檚 central moral鈥攋ustice should serve those who care for and nurture life, rather than those who simply claim ownership. The Caucasian Chalk Circle is a thought-provoking parable that explores themes of justice, power, and morality that challenges us to reconsider social and legal systems, making it as relevant today as when it was first performed.  Filled with music, wit, and Brecht's signature theatricality, this production speaks directly to out present moment -- where Questions of ownership, responsibility, and survival feel more urgent than ever.
