Chalk

Capitol Hill Arts Workshop
545 7th Street, SE Washington

At its simplest, CHALK is a story of motherhood. A wise judge draws a chalk circle on the ground to determine the true mother of a contested child. However, it's also a story about revolution and rebellion. It's about the choices we are forced to make for ourselves, for our families and for the causes we believe in. It's about the working class and the wealthy, justice and family, duty and survival.

"...The entire cast is an excellent ensemble but two performances stand out: Josh Adams as the judge (who seems hilariously dippy but knows what he's up to) and Natasha Gallop the serving woman (who earns our sympathy instantly and never lets it go)."

"...Chalk is, though, a bit back and forth on style. At moments, it really digs its heels into the vernacular and speech of old Russia. At others, not so much, though overall the adaptation remains true not just to its source material but also the era in which it is set. Authenticity shines through in the music and sounds in a very palpable way. What's genuinely ingenuous is the use of a chalkboard backdrop. The actors draw scenes and elements of the story atop a permanent depiction of a city offset by mountains. It's a very trendy take on the black box that adds a layer of expression and plays nicely into the story as a whole."
