Widely considered to be Brecht’s most engaging and humane play, The Caucasian Chalk Circle tells the story of Grusha, who sacrifices her happiness and dignity for the sake of an abandoned child she takes as her own. Set against the backdrop of a fictional civil war, Brecht’s play tells the gripping story of Grusha, a poor servant girl who rescues and raises an abandoned noble child, Michael, despite the immense personal sacrifices it entails.
