A morality masterpiece, The Caucasian Chalk Circle powerfully
demonstrates Brecht's pioneering theatrical techniques. This
version by Frank McGuinness was published to coincide with the
National Theatre's production which toured the UK in 2007. A
servant girl sacrifices everything to protect a child abandoned in
the heat of civil war. Order restored, she is made to confront the
boy's biological mother in a legal contest over who deserves to
keep him. The comical judge calls on an ancient tradition - the
chalk circle - to resolve the dispute. Who wins? This version by
Frank McGuinness was first presented by the National Theatre in
1997 and revived in 2007, opening at the Gulbenkian Theatre,
Canterbury, on 8 January.
