‘A Man’s a Man’

‘A Man’s a Man’ TheaterOff Broadway

(in previews; opens on Jan. 30) Having presented “Galileo” and “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” in recent seasons, Classic Stage Company returns to Brecht with this early knockabout farce set in British colonial India, where a civilian is enlisted in the army to be dismantled and reassembled as the perfect fighting machine. The director Brian Kulick and the composer Duncan Sheik, who worked on the company’s “The Caucasian Chalk Circle,” collaborate on the staging and score, with a cast that includes Justin Vivian Bond, Stephen Spinella and Gibson Frazier, who plays the hapless recruit.
