Caryl Churchill Plays: Volume Three

by Caryl Churchill

Spanning almost ten years and embracing a remarkable range of style and subject matter, this third volume of Churchill's Collected Plays, introduced by the author, contains:

• Icecream - an unsettling look at British attitudes to America, and vice versa; Mad Forest - Churchill's response to the Romanian Revolution
• The Skriker - a 'spellbinding' piece combining English folk tales with modern urban life
• Thyestes - a 'bleakly eloquent new translation of Seneca's Roman tragedy' (Sunday Times)

Plus two collaborative pieces combining word and dance:

• Lives of the Great Poisoners - a libretto to music by Orlando Gough and choreography by Ian Spink
• A Mouthful of Birds - written with David Lan
