Caryl Churchill
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-34577-4 (ISBN)
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.
Professor Mary Luckhurst is Chair of Modern Drama at the University of York and co-founder of York's new Department of Theatre, Film and Television. She has published extensively on modern drama and written the first cultural history of new play development: Dramaturgy: A Revolution in Theatre for Cambridge University Press. Her directing career includes Churchill's Far Away and Mad Forest for the York Theatre Royal.
