This production boasts a new score and new songs by acclaimed singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik.
Synopsis:
In the first half of the play's plot, a maid named Grusha, in the wake of a revolution and at great personal sacrifice, brings up the child of a hard-hearted governor's wife who later returns to claim the child. Grusha's claim to the child is tested in an unusual trial. The latter part of the play (the second part of the plot) focuses on the story of Azdak- a crude drunken scoundrel who through a bizarre twist of fate becomes the village judge. He settles the conflicting claims on the baby between Grusha and the governor's widow by putting the baby in a circle of chalk to see how each supposed mother would pull it out.
