The Caucasian Chalk Circle

A parable play with music and masks, The Caucasian Chalk Circle is one of the most heartfelt examples of Bertolt Brecht's work, which often strove to engage audiences rather than immerse them. In it, two stories converge: that of Grusha, the kitchen maid who goes through many ordeals to save the infant of an overthrown Governor; and Azdak, the corrupt judge who is charged with deciding whether or not Grusha must return the child to the woman who abandoned it. Directed by Sandglass Theater founder Eric Bass, with musical direction by Magda Sharff and choreography by Shoshana Bass.
