One of Europe's greatest playwrights, Caryl Churchill has been
internationally celebrated for four decades. She has exploded the
narrow definitions of political theatre to write consistently
hard-edged and innovative work. Always unpredictable in her stage
experiments, her plays have stretched the relationships between
form and content, actor and spectator to their limits.
This new critical introduction to Churchill examines her
political agendas, her collaborations with other practitioners, and
looks at specific production histories of her plays. Churchill's
work continues to have profound resonances with her audiences and
this book explores her preoccupation with representing such
phenomena as capitalism, genocide, environmental issues, identity,
psychiatry and mental illness, parenting, violence and terrorism.
It includes new interviews with actors and directors of her work,
and gathers together source material from her wide-ranging
career.
