Temptation to Behave

image from West Yorkshire Theater production of ...Chalk Circle


"Princeton Theological Seminary’s Department of Speech Communication in Ministry will present Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle Thursday through Saturday, April 8 through 10 at 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, April 11 at 3:00 p.m. It will be presented in the Gambrell Room of Scheide Hall on the Seminary campus at 64 Mercer Street in Princeton.

"In The Caucasian Chalk Circle, a young woman succumbs to the terrible temptation to do good; a small child is torn between two mothers; and a clever miscreant becomes an ingenious judge. The play demonstrates how goodness and justice operate in a fractured world, a world torn apart by violence and war.

"The play has been adapted by director Robert Lanchester, the Seminary’s assistant instructor in speech. Seminary students make up the cast. The production is open to the public and free of charge, but seats are limited and must be reserved in advance. For reservations and/or information, contact Marija DiViaio at 609.497.7963."
