Caryl Churchill
"Caryl Churchill is a dramatist who must surely be amongst the best half-dozen now writing… a playwright of genuine audacity and assurance, able to use her considerable wit and intelligence in ways at once unusual, resonant and dramatically riveting." - Benedict Nightingale
Someone sneezes. Someone can?t get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won?t answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone?s not ready to talk. Someone is her brother?s mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone?s never felt like this before. In this fast moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know.
Declared "the greatest living English playwright" by Tony Kushner, Caryl Churchill premiered this latest work at London's Royal Court in fall 2012, followed by its acclaimed US premiere at New York Theatre Workshop in early 2014.
"[A] thought-churning, deeply poignant new play... Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span... This British playwright has proved herself without peer in creating expressly topical works in which form and function are one.... Sharp-minded [and] tender-hearted." - Ben Brantley, New York Times
Caryl Churchill is one of the most influential playwrights of our time. She is the author of more than twenty plays, including Seven Jewish Children, Drunk Enough to Say I Love You, Top Girls, This is a Chair, Far Away, A Number, Cloud Nine, and Serious Money.
