The Theatre of Caryl Churchill - Grand Format

In each chapter, R. Darren Gobert demonstrates how Churchill has pushed the boundaries of dramatic aesthetics while posing urgent political and theoretical questions. He illuminates connections across Churchill's plays, explores major scripts alongside unpublished and unfinished projects, and considers the rehearsal room, the stage, and the printed text. But since each chapter maps Churchill's work in a different way, each deploys a different reading practice - for many approaches are necessary to characterise such a restlessly imaginative and prolific career.
The volume is further enriched by critical essays by Elaine Aston and Siân Adiseshiah. Through its interlocking parts, The Theatre of Caryl Churchill tells a story about the playwright, her work, and its place in contemporary drama.
