By Bertolt Brecht

Translated by Frank McGuinness

 

 

 

A girl must make a choice… to take the child and run, or leave him behind in the fury of civil war.

Brecht’s thrilling and revolutionary play follows a young girl who makes the biggest decision of her life. Set against the back drop of war and mutiny, Grusha seeks refuge and asylum.

Her crime: saving the son of the fleeing establishment.

Her reward: The Chalk Circle.

This inventive ensemble production draws on Brecht’s pioneering techniques and thrilling text, set to an original score.

The ★★★★★ production returns for 7 performances only after a sell-out run in 2016 at The Jack Studio Theatre.
