Product Description

Softcops renders the philosophy of Foucault as a music-hall turn and Victorian freakshow "theatre and history combine to give such intelligent fun" (TLS); Top Girls brings five great and less-than-great women from history together for a dinner party and "has a combination of directness and complexity which keeps you both emotionally and intellectually alert" (Sunday Times); Fen scrutinises the lives of the low-paid women potato pickers of the fens (in Eastern England) and "the playwright pins down her poetic subject matter in dialogue of impressive vigour and economy" (Financial Times) while Serious Money is a satirical study of the effects of the Big Bang - "Pure genius the first play about the city to capture the authentic atmosphere of the place." (Daily Telegraph)

Fantastic!
I discovered Caryl Churchill while doing my GCSE mocks several years ago, and fell in love with her work. She is a feminist writer, for those who are unaware of her work, but her writing is not 'man hating' as some people's opinions of feminists may expect, but are very well constructed pieces of theatre. 'Fen' is one of my all time favourite pieces of theatre because it has so many different characters who are all tied to the same place, and allows for some powerful acting. If you are at all interested in theatre then get hold of some Churchill: it is simply fantastic!
