About The Caucasian Chalk Circle

The Caucasian Chalk Circle (1948) by Bertolt Brecht is the most epic of the Brecht plays — the story of Grusha the kitchen maid who rescues the governor's abandoned baby during a revolution, and the rogue judge Azdak who uses the ancient chalk circle test to determine the baby's true mother. Brecht's most explicitly utopian work, ending with a kind of imperfect justice rather than the catastrophe and irresolution of Mother Courage and The Good Woman of Setzuan.
