The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht was a production from The Plinth Theatre Co. and the Atlantic Acting School performed in Atlantic Stage 2 in Chelsea, New York. It included original music by Nate Weida (I’s twinkle, Byuioo) and it was the launch of The Plinth theatre Co.
I played the role of Azdak, a village scrivener that on the heels of a coup d'état accidentally finds himself being appointed as the highest ranked judge in the country.
“If you don’t treat it with respect, the law just disappears on you.”
“I’ve noticed you have a soft spot for justice. I don’t believe he’s your child, but if he were yours, woman, wouldn’t you want him to be rich? You’d only have to say he wasn’t’ yours, and he’d have a palace and horses in his stable and beggars on his doorstep and soldiers in his service. What do you say—don’t you want him to be rich?”
