______________________________
" The Caucasian Chalk Circle" speaks to us, who live in these materialistic and property-obsessed times, of the Idea of ownership, it ask us to consider:
What do we own?
How Much?
Why do we own it?
Do we need it?
Do we have a right to own anything?
Do we own anything at all?
The Caucasian Chalk Circle tells a parable that explores what happens when the law conflicts with justice and asks questions about who is right and wrong in complicated situations. Setting up the play, a Prologue introduces the idea that things should be given to those who will take care of them as two farms dispute ownership of a valley. Once an agreement has been reached, the villagers put on a play—The Caucasian Chalk Circle.__
