Master puppet and mask maker Ralph Lee presents the powerful Brecht play The Caucasian Chalk Circle. The production seeks to reinvent the tale of the peasant girl who rescues an infant abandoned by nobel parents in a time of upheaval. The bond between girl and child grows strong through many adventures, some perilous and some humorous. When the noble mother tries to reclaim the child in order to gain an inheritance, the resulting dispute is brought before an eccentric judge, who offers his own twist on King Solomon's demonstration of wisdom in devising a test to determine the true mother of a contested baby.
