Written under self-imposed exile in America during World War II, Bertolt Brecht's last work, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, has been called a parable of the individual's struggle for free choice and responsibility during regime change. In the aftermath of a prolonged war, a Russian maid named Grushka raises the abandoned child of a noblewoman, but whne the noblewoman returns to demand the child back, the two women must vie for possession of the infant in a test that harkens back to the tale of King Solomon. Mark Jackson directs.
