Production images are released for The Doncastrian Chalk Circle which takes place at Cast in Doncaster on 27 - 29th August 2022. Filled with passion, hope and humour, this new musical version of Brecht's classic is adapted by Chris Bush, with music by Ruth Chan and directed by James Blakey.
The Doncastrian Chalk Circle is a heartrending and gripping tale of the families we choose. In a divided community, our reluctant hero, Grusha, risks everything to rescue an abandoned baby and raise him as her own. When the child's aristocratic mother returns to claim him, a rogue judge devises a unique test to determine their fate.
