A mysterious storyteller. A burnt-out village. A choice that has to be made…

Based on Bertolt Brecht’s epic masterpiece, this beautiful and dark fable explores the nature of possession and the sinister side of human nature. A new production brought richly to life with songs and music from our Actor Musicianship students.

This amateur production of ‘The Caucasian Chalk Circle (Beaton)’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
