Based on Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Full Circle opens in 1989 at the very moment that the Berlin Wall is toppling. The Americans are already there, of course – taking in the local culture, looking for investment opportunities, kidnapping babies, and careening through the old spas of Eastern Europe. While Communism falls and capitalism moves in, the denizens of Berlin are left wondering if there isn’t a third path somewhere betwixt the old and new ways of life.
