| Synopsis: | A prologue set in 1945 Berlin shows two sisters whose brother has deserted from the German army and is found hanged: should they risk being seen by the SS cutting his body down? In the play itself Creon becomes a brutal aggressor, who has attacked Argos for the sake of its iron ore. Tiresias, instead of prophesying the future, becomes a pessimistic analyst of the present; while the chorus of elders, always reserved in its attitude, eventually turns against Creon too. | |||||

| Synopsis: | A morality masterpiece, The Caucasian Chalk Circle powerfully demonstrates Brecht's pioneering theatrical techniques. This version by Frank McGuinness is published to coincide with the National Theatre's production touring the UK. A servant girl sacrifices everything to protect a child abandoned in the heat of civil war. Order restored, she is made to confront the boy's biological mother in a legal contest over who deserves to keep him. The comical judge calls on an ancient tradition ' the chalk circle ' to resolve the dispute. Who wins? This version by Frank McGuinness was first presented by the National Theatre in 1997 and revived in 2007, opening at the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury, on 8 January. | |||||

| Notes: | Original Playwright - Bertolt Brecht. Brecht Estate-approved translation. Selected as the opening work of the 2005 State Theatre of South Australia season. Produced by The Actors' Gang in Los Angeles, USA, for a three month season 2006/7. Winner of the 2005 Adelaide Theatre Guide 'Curtain Call Award for Best Show'. | |||||
| Synopsis: | Written by Brecht when he was 24, and translated by me at the same age, Drums in the Night is 'a blistering and beautiful parable that says much about a world at war with terror'. With Anna Balicke's love Kragler having left to fight in WWI five years earlier, her industrialist parents have decided the time has come for her to find a new suitor, namely the well-placed businessman Murk. But on the evening of her begrudging engagement, who should return but the poor soldier thought dead by all. With a Spartacist uprising brewing in the background, and the Schnapps flowing in the fore, the stage is set for all kinds of rebellion. 'A recent translation by Kruckemeyer might return this early work to prominence. Brecht and Kruckemeyer prove ideal collaborators for the Gang& A masterful adaptation of the play'. Jeff Favre, Daily Breeze, Los Angeles. | |||||

| Synopsis: | Written on the heels of the phenomenally successful Threepenny Opera, Happy End again takes to task the disparity between the 'Haves' versus the 'Have-nots.' In the underworld of Chicago, 1919, a Salvation Army Lieutenant, Lillian Holiday, aka Hallelujah Lil, tries to reform a gangster, Bill Cracker, whose mob is led by the mysterious Lady in Grey (also known as 'The Fly'). During the course of the salvation, they fall in love, a robbery gets bungled, murder is attempted, there's a surprise reuniting and a 'happy' ending. Along the way we are treated to some of Weill's best songs, including 'The Bilbao Song,' 'The Sailor's Tango,' 'Song of the Big Shot,' 'The Mandalay Song,' and 'Surabaya Johnny.'" nytheatre.com contributor David Fuller (The Singapore Mikado) directs a cast headed by Joey Piscopo (Billboard, Joe Piscopo's Son) and Lorinda Lisitza. nytheatre.com | |||||
