Caryl Churchill's plays are internationally performed, studied and
acclaimed by practitioners, theatre scholars, critics and audiences
alike. With fierce imagination the plays dramatise the anxieties
and terrors of contemporary life. This Companion presents new
scholarship on Churchill's extraordinary and ground-breaking work.
Chapters explore a cluster of major plays in relation to pressing
social topics - ecological crisis, sexual politics, revolution,
terror and selfhood - providing close readings of texts in their
theatrical, theoretical and historical contexts. These topic-based
essays are intercalated with other essays that delve into
Churchill's major collaborations, her performance innovations and
her influences on a new generation of playwrights. Contributors
explore Churchill's career-long experimentation - her risk-taking
that has reinvigorated the stage, both formally and politically.
Providing a new critical platform for the study of a theatrical
career that spans almost fifty years, the Companion pays fresh
attention to Churchill's poetic precision, dark wit and
inexhaustible creativity.
