STUDENTS from NEW College explore the themes of war, peace, violence and oppression when they perform the Caucasian Chalk Circle at the Artrix on March 29 and 30.

Based on Bertolt Brecht's powerful parable about the affects of war the play charts innocence and courage in an ever-changing world.

The Caucasian Chalk Circle is a theatrical tour-de-force that combines story telling, song and ritual in a landmark of modern theatre.

Tickets for the show, which starts at 7.30pm on both days, cost £5.
