The brilliant Bruiser Theatre Company is back at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar with a highly anticipated new version of Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle on Monday November 25 at 8pm.
The Caucasian Chalk Circle is a masterpiece of 20th century drama, powerfully demonstrating the playwright’s pioneering theatrical techniques. A servant girl sacrifices everything to protect a baby abandoned in the heat of war. Order restored, she is made to confront the boy’s mother in a legal contest over who deserves to keep him. The comical judge calls on an ancient tradition of ‘the chalk circle’ to resolve the dispute. But who will win?
From the company that brought you last year’s dazzling success Lady Windermere’s Fan, Bruiser’s innovative performance style coupled with Brecht’s superb play, in a translation by Alistair Beaton and directed by Lisa May, is guaranteed to produce a first class winter’s night at the theatre! Don’t miss it.
