This Is a Chair by Caryl Churchill

Churchill, who constantly reinvents dramatic form, has come up with something compelling and strange: an intimate revue about the increasing surreality of modern life. -Guardian

Puts one in mid of the painter Magritte.Each brief scene is preceded by doomy, tabloid television 'news music', and a graphic announcing some heavy topical subject - The War in Bosnia, for instance, or the Northern Ireland Peace Process. Then the performers. play a scene that has nothing to do with its title.The piece creates a haunting impression of urban alienation, self-obsession and pre-millennial tension -Daily Telegraph

This is a Chair is an experimental short play by Caryl Churchill in which heavy topical news bulletins are each followed by a scene that has nothing to do with the news announcement.
