The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht; directed by Sheila Daniels
Nov. 16 to 20, Skinner Theater at Raisbeck Performance Hall
In the heat of civil war a mother abandons her son, and the responsibility to rear the child falls upon Grusha, a servant girl. She sacrifices everything in order to respectfully raise the young boy as her own, but when the biological mother returns a debate arises as to who the rightful mother of the boy is. This is a fresh and powerful translation of Brecht’s incendiary masterpiece by Frank MacGuiness, one of the most respected translators in modern literature.
Advance tickets for all shows are available through Brown Paper Tickets.
