'THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE'
The Rep College

'Chalk Circle' is an adaptation of an old Chinese legend, by Bertolt Brecht. A cruel town governor is murdered and his wife escapes but abandons her baby who is harboured by a kitchen-maid. The widow returns and a trial is ordered with the test - which woman can drag the child out of a chalk circle.

"This was a beautifully crafted piece of theatre, very much a tight, powerful company performance that worked well in the studio space and was appreciated by a receptive and appreciative audience. Stirling stuff!"
Robin Strapp, Newbury Weekly News
