The Caucasian Chalk Circle at Orchard Dene Garden Theatre 17-20 July 2024.

May 28, 2024

A change from Shakespeare…A gem of a play, full of action, humour, music, and emotion…
Grusha, a maid, flees with abandoned baby Michael and face many challenges to protect him. This is a story as
old as Solomon, of motherhood and maternal love.
What makes a good mother: a mother by blood or mother by nurture?
Azdak a drunk or genius -judge or villain? Who will he protect – the landowners or the people?
The Caucasian Chalk Circle welcomes the audience into a world of
huge characters, big emotions, and the eternal question of who has the right
to claim ownership – who should own what?
Directed by Erica Harley. This adaptation provides an alternative and more
accessible version than the more traditional text. Described as a
masterpiece of 20th century drama.
