The Caucasian chalk circle

I was lucky enough to get envited to see the play the Caucasian chalk circle. I had never heard of it before but am always willing to see and experience new things. Our friends son was in it. He was playing 2 roles one being a elderly women. Arriving it was sad to see that there were only maybe 20 people there to see the show. When I have been to see the schools musicals it's usually packed. Although it was opening night so I assume the other shows had more people. But also it might be people not knowing the show and it not being a musical people seem to like musicals more then plays now days.  It was interesting that there was an iron curtain (chain link fence) where the cast would change and get ready for the next scene. So you could watch them. There were 3 people who stood out for me and drew your attention that even the people getting ready for the next scene. One was our friend as well as the main guy and girl. They were both great. The main guy who was the judge was amazing. They all had amazing timing for the funny lines. The story of the play is a rich couple who when war breaks out accidentally leave their baby behind. A young poor women finds the son and takes him as her own and protects him. Soldiers search for her and the baby. The coustums were some what cyber goth style which was different and interesting. Definitely take a step out of your boundaries and go see plays and musicals that you didn't know about. You may find a new favourite.
