Caryl Churchill by Mary Luckhurst

Caryl Churchill by Mary Luckhurst

This new critical introduction to Churchill examines her political agendas, her collaborations with other practitioners, and looks at specific production histories of her plays.

"This is the book about Caryl Churchill we've been waiting forMary Luckhurst does several things brilliantly. She relates Churchill's plays to the their cultural and political context, shows how their formal experimentation is dictated by ideas and analyzes their performance-history through the words of practitioners. I learned an amazing amount."

- Michael Billington, The Guardian

"This critical examination of some of Churchill's most significant works manages to distinguish itself from the dozens of other works on her. Its particular value lies in Luckhurst's interweaving theatre practitioners' voices (those of actors and directors) into the theoretical and historiographic discourse."

- CHOICE Reviews, K. Tancheva, Cornell University
