The Caucasian Chalk Circle

A Unicorn production

By Bertolt Brecht
Translated by Frank McGuinness
Directed by Amy Leach

Terrible is the temptation to do good.

Blood runs through the streets and the Governor's severed head is nailed to the gates of the city. A young servant girl must make a choice: save her own skin or sacrifice everything to rescue an abandoned child...

A time of terror, followed by a time of peace. Order has been restored and the Governor's Wife returns to reclaim the son she left behind. Now the choice is the judge's: who is the real mother of the forgotten child?

A bold and inventive new production of Brecht's moral masterpiece, accompanied by a live and original soundtrack.

For ages 11+
