Caryl Churchill is "a dramatist who must surely be rated among the half-dozen best now writing."-New Statesman
Softcops: "Pure fresh air. One wishes the master (Foucault) and his acolytes had her gift for the drama of ideas."-Times Literary Supplement
Top Girls: "Builds to a superb emotion-draining climax that sent me out of the theatre convinced that this is the best British play ever from a woman dramatist."-Guardian
Fen: "A striking, panoramic portrait of superstitious, religion-soaked, and even doom-laden countryside ... a powerful, gritty, ultimately political piece."-Guardian
Serious Money: "The real thing, theatre of language, movement, energy, purpose, and wit."-Observer

"Caryl Churchill's power to grip an audience is an extraordinary thing. Her plays perform a pincer-movement on your attention. Their ear for a subject of real concern out there in the world . . . has always been acute, and often prescient. These are plays which don't merely debate issues: they embody them."-The Observer
"Churchill is one of the most original and unpredictable of dramatists, and part of the pleasure of her work is going into the theater, and not having the faintest clue about what to expect."-Daily Telegraph
Jack would do anything for Sam. Sam would do anything. And around this simple premise, Caryl Churchill slyly crafts her new play depicting a deeply dysfunctional gay relationship-which is actually all about America. Premiering in fall 2006 at London's Royal Court Theatre, this is Churchill's first work since A Number and is another speedy, taut, two-hander that shows off her uncanny ability to write both topically and elliptically at the same time. With this play Churchill-who has taken on everything from Thatcherism to human cloning-continues her more than thirty-year tradition of producing "studies of a world quaking under constant siege in which style somehow always uniquely mirrors content" (The New York Times).
Caryl Churchill is one of the most respected dramatists in the English-speaking world. She is the author of some twenty plays, including Light Shining in Buckinghamshire, Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, The Skriker, Blue Heart, Far Away, and A Number, which have been produced throughout the world.

Caryl Churchill, hailed by Tony -Kushner as "the greatest living English language playwright," has turned her extraordinary dramatic gifts to the subject of human cloning-how might a man feel to discover that he is only one in a number of identical copies. And which one of him is the original. . . ? A Number opens in London's Royal Court Theatre in October, directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot).
Caryl Churchill is the author of some twenty plays including Cloud Nine, Top Girls, The Skriker, Blue Heart and Far Away.

[handle]The newest work by the playwright Tony Kushner calls "the greatest living English playwright."
[body]The newest work by the playwright Tony Kushner calls "the greatest living English playwright." Far Away is a howl of anguish at the increasing-and increasingly accepted-levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict, whether in Chechnya or Sierra Leone, Fiji or Zimbabwe. But is it all as Far Away as we would like to think.
Caryl Churchill is the author of some twenty plays, including Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, The Skriker and Blue Heart, seen and admired all over the world.

Following the logic of a dream-in which characters merge, locations change in an instant, and a locked door recurs obsessively-Strindberg's 1902 A Dream Play is a potent mix of Freud plus Alice in Wonderland. Caryl Churchill, perhaps the most fascinating and respected female dramatist in the English-speaking world, has taken on Strindberg's Dream in this spare and resonant adaptation.
Caryl Churchill's singular and striking plays include Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Light Shining in Buckinghampshire, Serious Money, The Skriker, Blue Heart, Far Away, and A Number.
August Strindberg (18491912) wrote over 60 plays, including Miss Julie, The Father, and The Dance of Death. He is considered Sweden's greatest author.
