ABSTRACT
Conceptions of Bertolt Brecht’s own staging of his play The Caucasian Chalk Circle in the “Berliner Ensemble am Schiffbauerdamm” (première 7 October 1954) differ from the performance in Frankfort-on-the-Main (directed by Harry Buckwitz première 27 April 1955) in this respect, among others, that in Berlin the Prologue was performed, whereas in Frankfort it was deleted before rehearsals began.
