Written towards the end of WWII and decidedly anti-Nazi, Brecht’s “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” is a play about politics, law, justice, parenthood and more. What defines a family? Who is responsible for taking care of mother earth?...of each other?...of our society? Brecht weaves comedy and drama throughout the play as his characters dance to life’s song. These characters are archetypes and larger than life thereby allowing the audience a mirror in which to view the choices we make, as compared to the choices the characters make. Whose side are we on? In Brecht’s theater the audience is expected to think as well as be entertained. He believed that unless and actor is having fun, the audience can’t! Moving, funny, thought provoking, challenging…what more could an audience want?
