The Caucasian Chalk Circle

 

 

The Caucasian Chalk Circle

After SYT’s remarkably assured and moving Cherry Orchard, this ambitious company is now tackling a very different classic of 20th century theatre – Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle.  This is epic theatre – as revolution erupts in the palace, the simple servant girl Grusha snatches up the baby, left behind by the Governor’s Wife, who is more concerned to save her gorgeous dresses.  Losing her soldier fiancé to the war, Grusha flees with the baby, undergoing terrible hardships, brave escapes and sudden catastrophes – and the bond between her and the little boy becomes ever stronger.  Her final test will be - the Caucasian Chalk Circle

 

About Us
