The prologue of the play is set in the Soviet union during a dispute over land allocation. We experience a folk tale within that story of the young heroine Grusha adopting the Governor's son Michael following the former's beheading after a coup. In a story punctuated with musical interludes, Grusha brings up the baby in a village where she marries an old peasant to avoid suspicion. Simon a soldier who had been entranced with her in her previous life catches up with her. In a scene redolent of the story of Solomon and the baby, the judge Azdak confronts Grusha and Michael's mother with an agonizing decision, one must forgo him or he will be torn in half. Despite its complexity and the difficulty in staging it, The Caucasian Chalk Circle is considered to be one of Brecht's best works and is one of the most regularly staged German plays.
