About The Book
Description
Author(s)
The play is a parable inspired by the Chinese play <i>Chalk Circle</i>. Written at the close of World War II the story is set in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia and retells the tale of King Solomon and a child claimed by two mothers. A chalk circle is metaphorically drawn around a society misdirected in its priorities. Brecht's statements about class are cloaked in the innocence of a fable that whispers insistently to the audience.
